Meet Colleen Woods, Educational Assistant at Snow Hill High
3 years with Worcester County Public Schools
“I enjoy working with the students to help them be successful in their studies.”
A Proud Moment
It makes me so proud when the students stop me in the hall and ask if I will be in their next semester class. The fact that they know they can count on me, to do my best to help them, makes me happy.
What People May Not Realize
I am not only there to help them in the classroom. I like to know who the students are outside of class: their interests, sports, and hobbies.
What She Loves Most About Her School Community
I enjoy working at SHHS because I work with a great group of educators who care a lot about the students.

Meet Katie Greiser, Educational Assistant at Ocean City Elementary
4 years with Worcester County Public Schools
“Watching kids reach milestones is my absolute favorite thing, no matter how small!”
A Proud Moment
A moment I felt really proud was when one of my students who typically didn’t vocalize what she wanted looked at me and used a whole sentence to ask for something. I felt like a proud mom!
What People May Not Realize
You have to be quick thinking, some things that work one day for a student may not work the next day. You have to be able to quickly adjust and adapt in order to effectively meet your students’ needs.
What She Loves Most About Her School Community
It feels like a close-knit family with tons of support all around you.

It may be June, but learning is still happening all over WCPS! Mrs. Forrester's SHHS art students spent the day learning Korean Hanji painting from local artist Jiyeong Yun at the Worcester County Arts Council. Then they learned about glass blowing from Jeff Auxer in Berlin. Thank you to our creative and supportive arts community for an incredible learning experience! #WeAreWorcester #ArtsAliveInWorcester
