Brenda Parker is Eagle Tire Pros Educator of the Week

By Charlotte Underwood

JACKSBORO, TN (WLAF)- Educators make a difference in students’ lives every day. For many students, having a school employee who cares and goes that extra mile can be the difference in a successful education and graduation. We’ve all had that teacher, or school employee who inspired us or helped in some way. That’s why WLAF and Eagle Tire Pros salute all of our hard-working educators with a weekly feature.

This week’s featured educator is Brenda Parker. She works in the front office secretary at Campbell County High School and has worked there for seven years.

Brenda has a smile for everyone that walks through the doors at the high school.

She is from Campbell County and attended Jacksboro Elementary School and Jacksboro Junior High. She went to CCHS and graduated in 1978.

“I have been married 46 years to my husband Danny we have two sons and two grandsons and a daughter-in- law that I love spending time with.  I Love vacationing with family, and I love watching Tennessee sports,” Parker said.

Before working at CCHS, Brenda was in nursing. She retired from nursing at the LaFollette Medical Center, then went to work at Riggs Drug for 12 years.

During her own school years, she said her favorite teacher was Mrs. Westbrook at the old Jacksboro Elementary School.

“She was always so kind and treated us well,” Parker said.

Her favorite part about working at CCHS is getting work with some “amazing administrators and teachers” and “seeing and helping the kids with anything” she can do for them.

Every Thursday, WLAF’s Charlotte Underwood features the WLAF – Eagle Tire Pros teacher of the week. That educator also receives a free oil change from Eagle Tire Pros. To nominate a teacher for teacher of the week honors, please send your nomination to wlaf@1450wlaf.com
