Antioch Community High School
Our staff members of the month for September are Jerry McKeigue and Peg Larson.
Jerry was nominated by Jess Machak, and this is what Jess wrote about Jerry:
I’m so grateful for my partnership with Jerry; he’s the kind of colleague who can turn even a hectic day around with a smile and the best jokes. Beyond being a genuinely great person, he’s the ultimate team player, always focused on what’s best for kids, not what's easiest. We’re constantly teaming up to crack the code on how to best support our students, and every time we do, it reminds me that we’re in this together.
Peg was nominated by Christina Jorgenson, who wrote:
Peg is an outstanding social worker. Her days are filled with helping students through hard times and teaching them coping strategies so they can be better versions of themselves. Peg is always willing to see a student whom she doesn't know. She helps staff with their problems and is always willing to be a non-biased third party in sticky situations. Peg gives her all when she is here. She is the embodiment of a true teammate and is an invaluable member of the Student Services team.
