In the heart of every school is the media center—a hub for curiosity, technology, and, of course, a lifelong love of reading. At Altama Elementary School, that hub is led by someone who embodies the spirit of dedication: Mrs. Mary Catherine Kersey. We are thrilled to announce that Mrs. Kersey has been named the Glynn County Schools Media Specialist of the Year!

While many remember school libraries as quiet places of study, Mrs. Kersey has transformed the Altama Media Center into a dynamic environment where students feel empowered to explore. Whether she is helping a student find the perfect book to spark their imagination or assisting teachers with vital instructional resources, her impact is felt across the entire campus.

This recognition is a testament to Mrs. Kersey’s hard work and her belief that every student deserves a champion for their literacy and growth. Her professional expertise and her genuine care for the Altama community make her an invaluable member of our district family.

Please join us in congratulating Mrs. Kersey on this well-deserved honor. We are grateful for her service and her commitment to our students.
