County Schools is celebrating the 50th 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.
Bernadette
Upson is a specialist in human
resources. She graduated from Parkland High School in 1981. She also attended
Diggs, Philo and Kennedy. She became a substitute teacher for the school system
in 1994 and has worked in Central Office since 2000.
“I have a lot of good memories of when
I attended school,” Upson said. “I remember having to ‘dress out’ for PE and
taking ‘timed tests’ in math and spelling. I took Home Ec under Ms. Land, and,
even though I don’t sew much anymore, I still love to cook and bake.
“My favorite teacher at Hill Middle
School was Mrs. Hatton. She was stern but fair. Then Konnie Robinson, who was
the guidance counselor, always had a pleasant attitude. I still keep in contact
with them.
“I was in the Co-op Program at Parkland
and got my first job as a proof operator at a bank and stayed there until 1992.
I got on the sub list in 1994 working at various schools until getting hired
full-time August 2000 in HR.”

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.
