Cody Jeffcoat, custodian at Washington High School, is the October recipient of the Blue Jay Pride Award.

The Blue Jay Pride Award was introduced to recognize and showcase quality School District of Washington staff and the focus on the District’s core beliefs. Through peer nomination, individuals are able to acknowledge exceptional staff who positively impact the schools, district and community. 

The individual who is recognized each month will be presented with a traveling plaque and a gift card.

Jeffcoat’s nomination form stated the following:

“Cody has an incredible work ethic. He consistently volunteers to help at other campuses when needed. He covers vacancies during the day as well as resolves issues in his assigned campus, even if they are not part of his daily routine - always with no complaints.

“He calls to tell me when something needs attention and follows up at the end of the conversation with, ‘I already got the problem taken care of; I just wanted to let you know it’s all fixed.’

“During the summer, Cody will focus on any assignment given to him, even when it’s not the most pleasant task. His relationship with the students and staff is without a doubt solid and full of joy. He has gained respect from students. He is truly a Blue Jay.”

Jeffcoat was presented the Blue Jay Pride Award traveling plaque by SDOW Superintendent Dr. Jennifer Kephart. He also received a gift card from First State Community Bank, represented by John Freitag.
