🎉 Rotary Club Educator of the Month – Rhonda Bray 🎉
The Rotary Club is proud to recognize Rhonda Bray as our Educator/Staff of the Month. Nominated by WLHS Principal Allison Nolen, Rhonda exemplifies what it truly means to go above and beyond for her school community. As the MS/HS School Administrative Manager at Warrensburg-Latham, she starts her days early—often responding to early-morning calls to secure substitute coverage for the entire district and navigating constant last-minute changes, all with patience, positivity, and a smile.
In the midst of an ongoing substitute shortage, Rhonda’s dedication and flexibility are invaluable. She is the glue that holds the high school together, always willing to step in wherever she’s needed—coordinating coverage, supporting events and fundraisers, running errands, caring for staff, and brightening days with her compassion and kindness.
Rhonda’s genuine care for both staff and students helps create the supportive, positive culture that makes WLHS such a special place. We are grateful for her service and proud to honor her with this well-deserved recognition. 👏💙
