Eatonville School District honors food service manager Terry High

The Eatonville School District proudly celebrated a significant milestone this week, honoring Food Service Manager Terry High for her 40 years of dedicated service to the district.

High’s remarkable journey began in 1984 when she started as a bus driver, ensuring the safe transportation of students to and from school. Her commitment to the district soon led her to transition into food services, where she took on the role of assistant cook and cashier. In 1990, High was appointed head cook at Eatonville Middle School, a position in which she served for 25 years, preparing nutritious meals for hundreds of students daily.

Five years ago, High took on the role of district-wide Food Service Manager, overseeing the district’s meal programs and ensuring that students across all schools continue to receive healthy, balanced meals. Her leadership has been instrumental in maintaining the high standards that have long defined Eatonville’s approach to student nutrition.

In her 40 years with the district, High has been a pillar of dedication, commitment, and service. Her colleagues, students, and the entire community have felt the impact of her work, and her influence can be seen in the many improvements and initiatives she has brought to the district’s food services.

“Terry’s passion for her work and her commitment to the well-being of our students is truly inspiring,” said Superintendent Jay Brower. “Her 40 years of service have shaped the district in so many ways, and we are incredibly grateful for all she has done.”

As High reflects on her four decades of service, she looks forward to continuing her work with the district and contributing to the health and well-being of Eatonville’s students. Her legacy of dedication will undoubtedly serve as an inspiration for future generations of district staff.

The Eatonville School District congratulates High on this monumental achievement and thanks her for her outstanding service to the community.
