The Oxford School District is proud to recognize Oxford Middle School counselor Yolanda Morton as our Employee of the Month. Mrs. Morton helps make our district a great place to work and learn.

Here’s what employees had to say about Mrs. Morton:

Mrs. Morton loves the students of OMS. She is awesome at making bad days, good days.

Mrs. Morton is a great counselor and does a great job behind the scenes in planning events for students and their families and prepping for school-wide testing. She is always so professional and caring in her work.

She is an all around PERFECT employee. She is a GREAT counselor because she listens and always strives to help others.

Mrs. Morton is always positive, helpful, consistent, and creates new ways to serve and benefit our students!

Ms. Morton is a ROCK STAR. She helps students, teachers, and support staff with any/all things within her power. She worked so hard during testing last week to ensure things were ‘smooth-sailing’, and I am so grateful that she is at OMS. Her dedication to her craft, students, and mission of OSD is unmatched.

She went above and beyond with the benchmark testing. She was running everywhere and making sure that everyone had everything they needed. She works so hard (everyone does!) and I'd love to see her recognized.

Mrs. Morton is one of the best things that has happened for OMS in a while. Students and teachers alike welcome her warm, calming, no nonsense presence and approach.

Mrs. Morton's calm demeanor and cool presence is such an asset to our school. Her work during testing to keep things going smoothly was invaluable. I'm so grateful for Mrs. Morton!

She works extremely hard to bridge the gap between students, teachers, and administration. She advocates for students. She is a team player that jumps in at a moments notice to lend a helping hand. She is cool under pressure and is always pleasant and polite to students and teachers alike. Mrs. Morton is a truly a gem and OMS is fortunate to have her.

Ms. Morton play an integral part in the success of OMS. She works hard, yet does so with grace and kindness. Thankful for all that she does!

Mrs. Morton has such a calm spirit. She is amazing to work with. She is always available to provide support and assistance to students and staff.

Mrs. Morton has a kind spirit. She's also passionate about her job. She deserves the award and more.

Is a huge asset to OMS not only in her role as a counselor but also as assistant STC!

She is always very helpful, especially when it comes to supporting students and assisting the staff in helping them. She always makes time for everyone.

Congratulations, Mrs. Morton! You’re a great representative of the #ChargerNation.
