It's National School Bus Safety Week! Meet a 2024 Transportation Employee of the Year - Jeanie Sheppard

In honor of National School Bus Safety Week, we're recognizing our 2024 Transportation Employees of the Year, here.  Please join us in thanking them, along with all CCSD transportation employees, for transporting our students safely to and from school, each day! #CCSDElevateTheExcellence #NationalSchoolBusSafetyWeek

Thank you to CCSD Cherokee South Innovation Zone Bus Driver and 2024 Transportation Employee of the Year Jeanie Sheppard!

This is Jeanie’s 25th year as a CCSD school bus driver.

What do you enjoy most about your role? “We have a great team of people, that are always willing to help! I love the sweet smiles of my students, watching them grow and seeing them out and about years after they rode my bus - some with their own children, now.”

How does Jeanie elevate the excellence as a school bus driver? “Jeanie has dedicated 25 years of patience, love and stability to the students of Cherokee County.  She works tirelessly to train and mentor new drivers and challenges veteran drivers to exceed expectations.  Her years of experience transporting students safely, concerning herself with the wellbeing of each student, and becoming a trusted part of their lives elevates her excellence in the role as a CCSD Bus Driver and Trainer,” Supervisor Jade Cowart said.
