Guilford County Schools Announce Track Coach as Employee of the Month

 

Greensboro, NC – When a student recently collapsed while trying out for track, Catherine Old, a physical education teacher and track coach at Jamestown Middle, knew exactly what to do. The first-year Visiting International Faculty member wasted no time in coming to the rescue.

 

The student was not breathing and had no pulse, so the heroic teacher administered CPR until the paramedics arrived. The student survived and recovered, and the parents and doctors credit Old’s quick thinking with saving the life of the eighth-grader.

 

As Employee of the Month, Old received a $50 gift card from Sam’s Club, which has partnered with GCS to support the employee recognition program. In addition, the Guilford County Board of Education will recognize her at its April 10 meeting.
