RSS Hosts New Employee Celebration
New employees from across the district received a warm welcome from the
community at Rowan-Salisbury School System’s New Employee Celebration in
October.
“It’s important for us to make sure that each one of our new staff members
– from bus drivers to principals – feels appreciated and welcomed in our
district,” said Kristi Rhone, Chief Human Resources Officer. “We know that
many of our new employees chose us over of a number of other job offers,
and we want to show them our gratitude.”
The celebration, hosted in partnership with the Rowan
County Chamber of Commerce and sponsored by
Atrium Health, gave new employees and their families
the opportunity to mingle with local businesses and
service providers while enjoying a hot dog dinner
prepared and partially donated by the Hot Dog Shack
in Rockwell, NC.

“Our local businesses and organizations are part of
what makes Rowan County so special. We wanted our
new employees to make connections with these people
as they assimilate to our community,” Rhone said.
