Julie Shepherd has played a pivotal role in helping to insure that Hemet Elementary was completely furnished and ready to open for our scholars. In addition to the accounting duties of her job title, she spent countless hours researching the best materials, the most modern designs, and went far above and beyond to create systems and forms for the many different projects happening simultaneously. She supported the entire Hemet El staff in having workspaces and classrooms that not only had the basic requirements, but that also had custom items to suit the needs of students learning in an innovative environment. We are beyond grateful for her incredible work ethic, her willingness to serve as a consultant for dozens of projects, and for her continuous encouragement and enthusiasm in helping make sure Hemet Elementary School truly shined in the community. Hemet Unified School district is so fortunate to have Julie Shepherd as part of the family.
