The Hall County School District is shining a spotlight on two of its own after receiving statewide recognition for excellence in school health.
Ellen Neece, school nurse at Chicopee Woods Elementary, has been named both the Hall County Schools Nurse of the Year and the Georgia School Nurse of the Year in the LPN category. Known for her steady presence and deep care for students, Neece plays a vital role in the Chicopee Woods community. Her commitment goes far beyond Band-Aids and checkups—she supports the emotional and physical well-being of every child who walks through her clinic doors.
The district is also celebrating Andrea Williamson-English, Hall County’s Health Services Coordinator, who has been elected President-Elect of the Georgia Association of School Nurses (GASN). A longtime advocate for student wellness and school nurse support, Williamson-English now steps into a leadership role that reflects her dedication and forward-thinking approach to school health.
“Andrea’s leadership is transforming our district’s health services,” said Joey Millwood, Director of Student Services. “She works every day to ensure that every student has access to the care they need and that every nurse in our district has the tools and support to succeed.”
Millwood says these recognitions are more than just titles—they’re a testament to the heart, hard work, and high standards that drive Hall County’s school health team.
