Stillman Valley High School health services director and school nurse Kayla McKinney has been nominated for the 2021-22 National LifeChanger of the Year award.

Sponsored by the National Life Group Foundation, LifeChanger of the Year recognizes and rewards the very best K-12 educators and school district employees across the United States who are making a difference in the lives of students by exemplifying excellence, positive influence and leadership.

McKinney was nominated by her colleague Joe Mullikin for being incredibly proficient at the technical and leadership aspects of her job while also being incredibly kind.

The pandemic has increased the workload of teachers and principals, and she works hard to ease as much of that burden as possible. Communicating with the community about masking, testing and quarantining can be a challenge, but her kindness and belief in the process has helped her put the district in a position to be as successful as possible and to maintain positive relationships with those in the community.

“I have watched her build relationships and create a safe space for students to come to with concerns. Throughout the pandemic, it has been incredible to watch Kayla work as an exceptional nurse, support the nurses and nurse aides throughout the district, and help the district navigate the craziness that has been COVID-19,” said Mullikin.
