High school students are important to PAGE as well — especially those who are considering teaching as a profession. This year, Future Georgia Educator activities and FGE Days at colleges will have a virtual option for Education Pathway students. Georgia Academic Decathlon, and PAGE Middle School Academic Bowl are also being virtually redesigned for when face-to-face interaction is not possible.

Newest PAGE Membership Services Representative Brings Powerhouse Recruiting Skills to DeKalb

Veteran educator Larrell Lewis brings a member of Rex Middle School’s leadership

a powerhouse talent to the PAGE Membership Department: Herself. As PAGE’s newest employee, “Coach Lewis” has stepped away from her role as a teacher and athletic director at Jonesboro’s Rex Middle School and into her role as PAGE membership services representative (MSR) for District 4a serving DeKalb County and Decatur City. Her connections with DeKalb educators on all levels, from the teachers to the superintendent’s office, run deep, and her communications and marketing skills have been honed as a longtime volunteer recruiter for district schools.

“I know that Larrell will do an exceptional job connecting and supporting educators in DeKalb County and City Schools of Decatur, just as she did with her students and players as a teacher, coach and athletic director,” said PAGE Executive Director Craig Harper.

Lewis previously taught and coached at Columbia Middle School in Stone Mountain, at Paulding County High School and at Burke County High School. In all of her roles, she has actively

promoted department cohesiveness and collaboration. And as team, she analyzed departmental procedures for strengths, weaknesses and opportunities for growth and improvement.

The Lithonia resident is a 2007 graduate of Albany State University, where she earned a bachelor of science in health and physical education.

Known for her eagerness and pep — “Her enthusiam for educators and PAGE is inspiring,” says PAGE Membership Services Director Jimmy Jordan — Lewis is stoked about her new position: “I’m so excited to become a part of the PAGE team,” she said. “I look forward to building relationships that provide educators with ample knowledge, comfort and great customer service.”

Previous PAGE District 4a membership services representative Shirley Wright is continuing her highly successful career at PAGE as the District 5 MSR representing Cobb and Paulding counties. n
