Coleman is WVDE School Service Personnel of the Year Finalist

The West Virginia Department of Education (WVDE) announced 10 finalists for the 2022-2023 West Virginia School Service Personnel of the Year. This honor recognizes the commitment and dedication of staff members in the public school system who work beyond expectations to serve students and families in their communities. They have earned the respect and admiration of students, teachers, administrators, co-workers and parents.

Jeff Coleman is head of maintenance at John Marshall High School in Marshall County, West Virginia. With unparalleled work ethic and kindness, colleagues say he is essential to the John Marshall Monarch family. His versatility, organization, and inherent good will is apparent in any task he takes on such as upkeeping and beautifying school grounds, attending every play, musical, and football game, and helping distribute food during the pandemic to students and their families. In his spare time, Coleman is active in this church, represents the Marshall County Chapter of the West Virginia Service Personnel Association, and volunteers for the Marshall County Road-E-O program.

West Virginia’s School Service Personnel of the Year and Teacher of the Year will be announced on September 13, 2022, during a ceremony at the West Virginia Culture Center in Charleston.
