2024-2025 Bus Drivers of the Year
Sumner County Schools is pleased to announce the recipients of the Bus Driver of the Year and Bus Attendant of the Year awards. With more than 30,000 students enrolled and approximately 19,000 riding the bus each day, we are proud to extend the title of Bus Driver of the Year and Attendant to four outstanding individuals. Due to their exemplary service, we congratulate:
Rita Flatt (H.B. Williams, White House Intermediate, White House High School)
Christina Hare (Beech Elementary, Knox Doss Middle School, Beech High School and Dr. William Burrus Elementary School)
Randy McDowell (Knox Doss Middle School, Beech High School, Gene Brown Elementary)
Lydia Barnhill (Ellis Middle School, Hendersonville High School, Indian Lake Elementary and Nannie Berry Elementary)
Sarita Tam (Benny Bills Elementary, Shafer Middle, and Gallatin High School)
Larry Moore (Benny Bills Elementary, Shafer Middle, and Gallatin High School)
Phillip Gray (North Sumner Elementary, Portland East Middle and Portland High School)
Pamela Proffitt (Clyde Riggs Elementary, J.W. Wiseman Elementary, Portland Gateview Elementary, Portland East and Portland West Middle School)
These drivers and attendants were chosen because they go above and beyond their regular duties, attendance and willingness to work with other drivers and administrators. Director of Transportation Tracey Richardson along with area supervisors presented each winner with a certificate of appreciation, a Sumner County jacket that matches their area high school, and a magnet to display on their bus recognizing them as Bus Driver / Attendant of the Year.
Congratulations to our wonderful drivers and attendants!
