MADISON – The faculty, staff and administrators at James Clemens High School have selected Lynne Hyche as the 2020 Staff Member of the year.

On hearing about her honor, Hyche said she was both “surprised and pleased.” She works as a bookkeeper and receipts coordinator for James Clemens students.

“I started working at Bob Jones High School as an aide in 2012. In 2013, I moved to James Clemens as an aide,” Hyche said. “Later, I was offered a position as a second bookkeeper.”

Working as bookkeeper at James Clemens, Hyche said the job keeps her “super busy. I offer help here and there when possible.”

The behavior and attitude of students impress Hyche. “I see some very respectful, resourceful, talented, funny, creative teens in our school every year. They are truly amazing!” she said.

She is married to Randy Hyche, who works as Area Manager for EOC. “Lauren and my three grandkids live in Calera. My youngest daughter Kelsey lives in Lacey’s Spring,” Lynne said.

When time in her schedule will allow, she always takes advantage of an opportunity to travel, read, sew and scrapbook.

Dr. Brian Clayton is Principal at James Clemens. The assistant principals are Dr. Kerry Donaldson, Jennifer Flanagan, Allison Miller and Jason Watts.

Each year, schools in the Madison district select Teacher of the Year and Staff Member of the Year for exemplary service. The Central Office and Transportation Department also select a Staff Member of the Year. Winners are presented $500 and become eligible for districtwide honors announced at the beginning of the next school year.
