Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools is celebrating the 50^th anniversary of the consolidation of the city and county school systems. As part of that, we’re recognizing people who are a product of the school system who now work for the school system.

Sherry Davis, who graduated from Parkland High School in 1976, is an administrative assistant in the Title I department at Central Office. She also went to Forest Park, Hill and Philo. Before going to Central Office in 2012, she worked at Bolton, Old Town and Cash elementary schools.

When she was a student at Parkland, the school had “open campus.” “You could leave and go to McDonald’s or Burger King.” She was in the Cooperative Office Occupations program, and, her senior year, she went to school in the morning and worked at Quality Oil Co. in the afternoon.

Karla Plyler, who is an administrative assistant in the Operations Department, graduated from West Forsyth High School in 1981. She started school at Lewisville and went to Southwest and Kennedy. She joined the school system in 2004.

If you graduated from high school here and now work for the school system, we’re inviting you to send us photo of you, if possible, holding your yearbook or diploma or wearing your letter jacket (if you can still fit in it). Anything else that connects you to those days works just fine, too. And, if you have a picture of one of your classes in elementary school, by all means, send that, too. 

Be sure to let us know when you graduated from what high school and what your job title is these days. You may reach Kim Underwood at rkunderwood@wsfcs.k12.nc.us
