Congratulations to 2024 Retiree Mrs. Karen McMullan! ๐ฅณ๐๐
Mrs. McMullan has retired after 22 years as a Paraprofessional at Crescent High School. Karen has been married to her high school sweetheart, Rick, for 47 years. They are both proud Crescent Alumni, Class of 1975! They are blessed with three children, their spouses, and four grandchildren.

Mrs. Mac is a true jack of all trades and a #TrueTiger through and through. We will miss her infectious laugh and big-hearted personality. Thank you for blessing the students and staff at Crescent by just being you. We love you! Happy Retirement! ๐๐ค

Congratulations to 2024 Retiree Mrs. Paulette Haynie! ๐ฅณ๐
Mrs. Haynie has retired after 23 years of service to Anderson 3. Paulette is originally from Abbeville and is a graduate of Abbeville High School. She attended Tennessee Temple University and Piedmont Technical College. Paulette has worked in her current role as a kindergarten paraprofessional at Flat Rock Elementary for 11 years. Before that, she served at the district office and as a Special Education Paraprofessional.
She and her late husband, David, have one daughter, Katelyn (Robert), who has blessed Paulette with a granddaughter, Daveigh. Paulette is excited to spend more time with her family and serve at church.
"My favorite memory has to be seeing students light up when they can read or understand a math problem. Seeing students grow in their learning has been rewarding. Also, when former students wrote me a letter thanking me for encouraging them to be all they can be. My motto has been "I can and I will" with students "who feel defeated" in their learning. Sharing this with some of the students gave them encouragement to try a math problem or sounding out a word while reading a book. When that student attempted and succeeded, a smile came to their face. That has always been the most rewarding time as a paraprofessional, knowing I made a difference in a child's life." ๐ก๐
Thank you for being so dedicated to #A3Students, Mrs. Haynie. We will miss you! ๐
