We wanted to take a moment to recognize Mrs. Beth Hughes as she “retires” from her role as Anderson 3’s District Head Nurse after nearly 15 years of dedicated service! 💉❤️
Throughout her tenure, Beth has been a trusted leader and steady presence, helping guide our district through some of the most challenging health situations ever, including COVID-19, Measles, and countless day-to-day health and safety needs. Her professionalism, compassion, and commitment to students and staff have made a lasting impact across Anderson 3.
Thankfully, this isn’t goodbye! Mrs. Hughes will continue serving our students as the school nurse at Flat Rock Elementary, and we are grateful that her caring heart and expertise will remain part of our Tiger family.
Thank you, Mrs. Hughes, for your leadership, dedication, and nearly 15 years of service to Anderson 3 as our head nurse! 🐯🩺💙
