Rosa Panagopoulos: November 2024 Substitute of the Month
How long have you been a substitute?
In 2017, I started as a SpEd Paraprofessional working early childhood at Crockett, Thompson’s Station and Bethesda. Then in 2021, I was looking for more work flexibility and since I still enjoy working with kids, I stayed on with Williamson County substituting.
What is your favorite part of being a substitute?
My favorite part is being able to work in different schools and often see and work with the many kids from my past years. It’s also gratifying to see how much the kids have developed and grown over the years.
What would you say to those on the fence about becoming a substitute teacher?
My overall experience has been great throughout my years at Williamson County Schools. I genuinely enjoy working with the kids and school staff.
Rosa, thank you for your dedication and service to Williamson County Schools!
