Mentor of the Year

Every year the dedicated team of Clarke County School District Counselors nominate outstanding mentors that they have encountered throughout the year. Through this process the Mentor of the Year is chosen, who is then recognized at our Annual Fundraising Breakfast at the end of the year! 

Our Current Mentor of the Year is...

​Paron Payne!

Paron Payne is a mentor to not one, not two, but three students at Gaines Elementary School. Paron has been mentoring for less than a year but his impact with his mentees and the community is been incredible. He is dedicated to meeting with his mentees and making sure their time together is regular and meaningful.
