Roberson High

Two retired advisers who spent their ca- reersin service to student journalism received the applause of their colleagues as they were honored Tuesday afternoon. Adrienne Hollifield, the recently retired adviser at Charles D. Owen High School, and former high school adviser and current JEA mentor Carol Eanes were presented with the Kay Phillips Distinguished Service Award for excellence in scholastic journalism. Hollifield said she was completely surprised by the award. The accolade means even more in light of her retirement, she said. “You really do get this kind of high when you teach students (who) really love something — not just some facts about something, but really love something. I think that makes all the differ- ence,” Hollifield said. Everette Malchow, Owen High School (‘17), believes Hollifield deserves the award. “Whatever she does, she is doing it for the Photo by Bradley Wilson students,” Malchow said. “She loves having rela- Carol Eanes and Adrienne Hollifield show off their Kay Phillips Award plaques following a presentation at the adviser’s luncheon at The Carolina Inn on June 14. tionships with us, she wants us to succeed.” Photo by Stephen Solorzano, Fillsborough High As she steps away from teaching, Hollifield things we had done.” teacher in place, it meant I was out of this group Carol Eanes and Adrienne Hollifield show off their Kay Phillips Award plaques following a presentation at the adviser’s luncheon at The Carolina Inn on June 14. has mixed emotions.
