We are excited to announce the newest member of our team, and some of you may know her! Carrie Hill is happy to be returning to Decatur as the Communications Assistant for Decatur City Schools Foundation. Carrie’s main goal will be to share the success stories of Decatur City Schools with everyone who supports us. She’ll be using her writing skills to create press releases and blog posts, as well as handling Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook posts.
“I’m excited to get to come back and be a part of the school system that shaped me as a kid! Decatur is fortunate to have the foundation supporting our schools, and I can’t wait to be involved in supporting the success of our students and teachers. "
Jesslyn Reeves, Executive Director of the Foundations shares, "We believe Carrie will help us to continue the effort we began this year to communicate better than ever with our community about how supporters are making a difference, how the foundation is working with the schools to increase student achievement, and how the schools are improving.”
Carrie is still finishing her last semester in Professional and Public Writing at Auburn University, but she is already working remotely on projects for the Foundation. Starting her duties as Communications Assistant on August 28, 2017, has already changed the way she sees her classes at Auburn. She shares, “Being able to immediately put the skills I learn in class to use in a job that makes a difference in my community makes me grateful that I have this last semester to take classes specifically relevant to the grant writing and copyediting I need to be prepared to do my job.”
As much as she is already enjoying the working for the Foundation, Carrie cannot wait to join the team in the office in December.
“The Foundation is the type of workplace I’m ready to jump into. I’ve known for a long time that when I found a job, I wanted to be in an organization where I could be excited about the mission. I’m happy to have found a place where I can be proud of what my work accomplishes in my community.”
More than anything, Carrie is ready to come back and serve the community where she grew up.
“Even being in a new role, this is a homecoming in many ways. I’ll get to come back and give back to a school system that’s given me so much.”
