Every year, we take time to celebrate the incredible volunteers who give their time, love, and joy to our students. Each year, we also honor one outstanding volunteer with the John Hamby Volunteer of the Year Award. We are thrilled to recognize Mary Johnson as this year’s recipient.

Mary is a dedicated mentor and classroom volunteer who faithfully invests countless hours at Pathways each week. She has a deep passion for our students, especially Emma, the student she mentors, and their connection is a joy to witness.

Wherever Mary goes, she brings warmth, encouragement, and a bright spirit that truly lights up the classroom. She consistently goes above and beyond to support our students and staff, making a lasting impact on our community. Mary, thank you for all you do. We are so grateful for you and the difference you make every day.
