Huddleston Elementary bookkeeper and principal secretary Beth Yeager is a key cog in the success of her school.
Yeager covers a wide variety of roles behind the scenes, helping the school at large and Principal Josh Noland in his daily work. She secures substitute teachers, works on anything financial likes budgeting and bills, helps teachers get things they need, and sometimes she’s just a listening ear.
“It’s hard to list everything you do in a day,” she said. “It’s a little bit different everyday, and I love it.”
Fayette County Public Schools has meant a lot to her family. They moved to Georgia in 2000, and all 3 of her kids graduated from here. Yeager made friends who worked in the school system, and she was drawn to join them.
“I could see what a difference they were making and how great it was, and I wanted to be a part of that.”
She started at McIntosh High in 2011 and worked in their front office for 3 years, then she was the Infinite Campus clerk at Sara Harp Minter Elementary. She has been at Huddleston for 4 years.
“I think my favorite thing about Huddleston is the people,” she said. “I get a front row seat to watch them work sacrificially to meet the needs of the students and families, to make sure they get everything they need from school.”
That leadership inspires Yeager to serve her community.
“I want to be known as a person who serves others and makes a difference in people’s lives,” she said. “I think working in Fayette County has allowed me to use my gifts to do that, and I’m very thankful for that.”
