When Tryon Elementary Principal Dr. John Mauldin brings a challenge to Miranda Hoots, he knows what response he’ll get: “I will take care of it.”
And she does.
As the receptionist at Tryon Elementary School, Hoots is both the warm, welcoming face that greets stakeholders entering the building and the behind-the-scenes problem-solver who keeps daily operations running smoothly.
Hoots thinks outside the box to find creative solutions, whether she’s covering classes when teachers are absent or handling the day-to-day tasks that allow the principal to focus on other responsibilities. Her ability to manage unexpected challenges while maintaining a positive demeanor makes her an invaluable team player.
Mauldin said Hoots’ work ethic and pride for Tryon Elementary are contagious, inspiring those around her with her dedication and can-do attitude.
Her approach to problem-solving reflects innovation in its most practical form — finding creative solutions to ensure the school runs effectively every single day. From managing schedules to supporting teachers, Hoots tackles each task with the same commitment and enthusiasm.
