On November 20th, the nurses of Surry County Schools gathered for their monthly meeting, where they were graciously treated to lunch by Northern Regional Hospital. A heartfelt thank you goes to Rylee Giles and Kayla Edwards from Northern's Marketing and Community Relations Department for their generosity.
During the meeting, the nurses had the pleasure of meeting Olivia Basile, a Physician Assistant with Northern Family Medicine in Dobson. Olivia shared valuable information about the practice and the services it offers, and she expressed her readiness to assist whenever needed. We are grateful for her time and expertise.
We feel truly fortunate to have such strong community partners in Northern Regional Hospital and appreciate the support and collaboration that helps enhance the care we provide to our students and staff.
Thank you once again to Rylee, Kayla, and Olivia for making this meeting a success!

#SCSCelebrates | Please join Surry County Schools in congratulating the Surry County Schools' Teacher of the Month, sponsored by Accurate Insurance Solutions, Mr. Darren Hiatt! Mr. Hiatt is the November Teacher of the Month and was recognized by a former student for his outstanding work both inside and outside of the classroom. Mr. Hiatt currently serves as a Social Studies teacher at North Surry High School-Official, as well as the Online Economics and Personal Finance instructor for Surry Virtual Academy and Surry Online Magnet School.
The nomination reads: "Mr. Hiatt always brought a smile to my face. During his time at Surry Central High School, he made learning something to look forward to. When Hiatt transferred to North Surry High School, he communicated with all of his former students, expressing his love for us and how it was such a tough decision to make. I still email Mr. Hiatt and look forward to any interaction I have with him. He is truly an inspiration and loves his job. My two minute conversation I had with him at a football game last Friday made my day. He never fails to make you feel loved and appreciated." Congratulations, Mr. Hiatt! 💙🎉
