🌟 Employee Spotlight: Celestine Jones 🌟
Head start & Early head Start is proud to recognize Ms. Celestine Jones for her dedicated service and lasting impact on the children and families of our Head Start program.
Ms. Jones began her journey with Head Start in January 2005 at the Henderson Center. Throughout her remarkable career, she has faithfully served not only the Henderson community but also the Haliwa-Saponi and Soul City centers. Over the years, she has taken on multiple roles, including Teacher Assistant and Bus Monitor, always demonstrating a genuine commitment to the growth, safety, and well-being of every child she served.
While much of her career was spent helping nurture and educate three- and four-year-old children, the last four years of her service have been dedicated to enriching the Pre-K program and helping prepare young learners for future success.
Beyond her professional accomplishments, Ms. Jones is a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She and her husband have shared more than 53 years of marriage and are blessed with six children, 15 grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren.
We thank Ms. Jones for more than two decades of dedication, compassion, and service to the Head Start mission. Her commitment to children and families has left a lasting legacy that continues to inspire those around her.
❤️ Thank you, Ms. Jones, for making a difference in the lives of so many children and families throughout our communities.
