Northside Cherokee CEO Honored As Cherokee Schools Advocate

Northside Hospital Cherokee CEO Billy Hayes was recently presented a Game Changer Award for Instructional Advocacy by Cherokee County Schools.

Cherokee County Superintendent of Schools Brian Hightower surprised Mr. Hayes with the award during the monthly board meeting of the Cherokee County Educational Foundation, for which Mr. Hayes serves as board president.

"It's important that we've got people in the county in leadership positions who are advocates for our schools and our kids, and you are a shining example of that," Hightower said. "We believe that Billy is a game changer, not just at the hospital, but also in the Cherokee County School District."
