For the past six years
Connie Fennell has served as a CHS computer lab technician. She works
and supports our entire school in numerous ways. She is extremely
dedicated and committed and displays a genuine interest in our students
and is supportive of teachers, students, and administrators, taking on
many tasks beyond her job description. Although she works at K-Mart
after a full day at CHS, she arrives at school each morning energetic,
upbeat, and ready to give 150% toward a productive day. In addition to
her responsibilities in the computer lab, Connie assigns lockers to the
1300 students and maintains an up-to-date database throughout the year.
At school inventory time, she assists the school administration in
gathering the information and maintaining a database. She is often found
answering the school phone, delivering messages, and creating
invitations for school events. She has developed a database for the
humanities teachers listing the 300 seniors, their projects and
community mentor, along with the three judges assigned to these 300
students. This was a huge undertaking on her part.
Her devotion to CHS is
evidenced daily through her thoughtful deeds. She remembers and
celebrates most everyone’s birthday with goodies and cards. She also has
a special place in her heart for the 60 special needs students. On
special occasions, such as Valentine’s Day, she creates computerized
coloring books for each child. Connie has a unique gift which enables
her to balance a strong work ethic with her genuine love for people.
Always positive, helpful, and loyal, she leaves heart prints wherever
she goes--that is her gift to all at Columbus High School. Her kindness,
loyalty, and willingness to give so much of herself to students,
teachers, and school make her worthy of the ABCD Award.
