BellSouth
Inducted 1994
“Motivation”, “challenge” and “opportunity”
are key words when describing BellSouth’s partnership
with schools throughout the county. There is a special emphasis
on programs designed to help students stay in school. BellSouth
provides incentive awards which recognize student improvement
in academics, attendance and behavior; even going an extra
step by providing uniforms and school supplies for needy
students so that they have no barriers to coming to school.
At one elementary school, they helped create an Ecosystem
learning laboratory where students learn by interacting
with plants and animals. At the high school level, BellSouth
created the “Most Outstanding Service Award”
to encourage community involvement. This award is presented
to the school organization or club which has done the most
to help the community. Finally, BellSouth employees are
always visiting schools and classrooms to share their expertise
during “truck days” and “career days.”
