Thank You, Betsy Reid!

Haywood County Schools extends our heartfelt gratitude to Betsy Reid for more than 25 years of dedicated service to HCS.

From supporting our schools as a parent to serving on the HCS Board of Education from 2018–2026—and most recently leading as Board Chair—Betsy has remained a devoted advocate for our students, staff, schools, and community.

Her leadership, commitment, and genuine love for Haywood County Schools have left a lasting impact that will be felt for years to come. While we are sad to see her leave the Board, we are incredibly thankful for the countless hours, thoughtful decisions, and steady support she has given to HCS.

Please join us in thanking Betsy for her remarkable service and wishing her the very best in this next chapter. Once a part of the HCS family, always a part of the HCS family!
