Reichmuth, Hignite, Lee make a difference Three Patterson Unified School District employees — Debbie Reichmuth, Carolyn Hignite and Bill Lee — were honored at the Jan. 7 district board meeting. Assistant Superintendent Michael Gardner, Superintendent Patrick Sweeney and school board president Ruben Piña presented the Employees Making a Difference 2007-08 awards, given by the Association of California School Administrators’ Stanislaus County Chapter. Administrators nominated honorees based on how they make a difference at their school sites. James Lake, assistant principal at Patterson High School, nominated his secretary, Reichmuth, for the award. He said Reichmuth, who has worked at the high school for 19 years, goes out of her way to make staff, students and parents feel special. Reichmuth filled in as attendance clerk at the high school during the summer and fall, while also performing her regular job duties. No matter how busy her day is, Lake said, she is never too busy to make others feel important. She puts in extra hours at her job, working long after everyone else has gone home, he said. Cathy Schulz-Brown, a teacher on special assignment for assessment and intervention programs, nominated Carolyn Hignite, district data materials technician. Brown said Hignite, a “behind-the-scenes” employee who has worked in the district for 31 years, gives 110 percent to her job and the people she serves. Hignite helps teachers with database reports so they can identify students’ learning needs. Brown said Hignite has saved the district thousands of dollars through her attention to detail on error-free reports about state tests. An employee with a “come early, stay late” attitude, Hignite has even rescheduled vacation plans to make sure certain reports are submitted by their due dates, Brown said. Jose Sanchez, Apricot Valley Elementary School’s assistant principal, nominated William “Bill” Lee, the school’s yard duty noontime supervision aide. Lee is known as “Mr. Bill” on the local campus. He always has a smile for students and treats each one with respect. Sanchez said Lee is a role model for the children and a problem solver when it comes to playground conflicts. In turn, they enjoy asking him for assistance when problems arise, he said. Lee also works the school’s crosswalk in the morning and reminds students to work hard and follow school rules.
