Kassy Whitener (pictured above, left, with Citizens Bank’s Julie Warden), family and consumer sciences teacher at Midland High School, was named Monday to receive the October “Citizens Bank Shine Like a Mustang Award.”
Citizens Bank said in a media release that Whitener’s hardwork and dedication are inspirational and appreciated as she encourages her peers and students to be the best they can be.
A fellow Midland staff member praised Whitener:
- “Kassy exemplifies true Mustang Spirit through her unwavering commitment to our team and her readiness to assist wherever needed. Kassy consistently goes the extra mile and puts in lots of extra hours. Her enthusiasm is contagious, and she inspires others. She’s not just a coworker; she is a true asset to our school. I know her parents would be so proud of her.”
With this program, Citizens Bank and Midland School District aim to recognize staff members who shine in their role as a Mustang to live out the district’s vision to engage learning at high levels and embrace challenges without fear of failure. Staff nominate the award recipients who receive a Certificate of Excellence, a $25 gift card, and a 16-ounce insulated cup from Citizens Bank. The award is presented at the Midland School Board meeting each month.
