Huntington UFSD Celebrates Administrative Professionals Day

Wednesday is Administrative Professionals Day all across America, including in Huntington UFSD where it honors the district’s clerical workers who do so much to keep the eight school buildings functioning smoothly.

Originally called National Secretaries Day, with increased responsibilities and the rise of technology, the position is now much more administrative in nature, hence the name change.

In Huntington UFSD, these professionals are truly unsung heroes, performing a substantial amount of work behind the scenes to little or no fanfare. These employees are often the first contacts members of the public have with the district and they work hard to find answers to even the most vexing of questions.

“Our administrative professionals are essential to the daily success of our schools, working tirelessly to support students, staff, and families with care and professionalism,” Superintendent Beth M. McCoy said. “Their attention to detail, problem-solving skills, and unwavering dedication help create a welcoming and efficient environment for all. We are deeply thankful for all they do each and every day to keep our schools running smoothly.”

Huntington UFSD’s corps of administrative professionals are essential to efficient operation of every building and department. Some of those being celebrated this week are relative newcomers to the district while others have worked here for decades and even graduated from Huntington High School. A large number are district residents.
