Kathy Summerlot, 2011 Employee of the Year: Matanzas High School

January 13, 2011 | FlaglerLive | Leave a Comment

I feel privileged every day when I drive onto the campus at Matanzas High School.
Ten years ago when my family moved to Palm Coast from Atlanta, Georgia,
I was not completely sold on Flagler County. However, I quickly began volunteering at both of my sons’ schools and learned to love the area and its people. About six years ago, a friend mentioned that since I already had so much volunteer experience, I should apply for the Volunteer Coordinator position with Flagler County Schools. After being successfully hired for the position, I happily jumped right into the role.
My subsequent move to the Matanzas High School Guidance Department has truly been a blessing. My husband and I will celebrate 25 years of marriage this year and our oldest son, Rhett, is a Marine Reservist and an Ormond Beach Police Officer. He recently married Lauren who is a new teacher at Belle Terre Elementary School. Bryant, our youngest, has been a Sheriff’s Department Explorer since the 6th grade and he is currently attending Daytona State College.

Asking tough questions is increasingly met with hostility. The political climate—nationally and right here in Flagler County—is at war with fearless reporting. Officials and powerbrokers often prefer echo chambers to accountability. They want news that flatters, not news that informs. They want stenographers. We give them journalism. You know by now, after 16 years, that FlaglerLive won’t be intimidated. We dig. We don't sanitize to pander or please. We report reality, no matter who it upsets. Even you. But standing up to this kind of pressure requires resources. We need a community that values courage over comfort. Stand with us, and help us hold the line. Fund the journalism they don't want you to read. No paywall. But it's not free. Take a moment, become a champion of enlightening journalism. Any amount helps. We’re a 501(c)(3) non-profit news organization. Donations are tax deductible.
