Dr. Amy Garrett has volunteered a significant amount of time to Oak Harbor Public Schools, demonstrating a genuine commitment to serving students and families. What makes it even better is that she does it with joy!

For over 4 years, Dr. Garrett has served on the Community Engagement Board, which supports families facing attendance challenges by connecting them with resources to help students thrive. In this work, she has shown willingness to take time from her busy schedule to care for students and families. She also serves as a member of the Superintendent's Community Roundtable, a group of community leaders who serve as trusted voices and ambassadors for our school community.

As the first recipient of Oak Harbor Public Schools' Community Partner Star of the Year Award, Dr. Garrett is the first community partner we are highlighting in a series of spotlights on our community partners.

"I have seen Dr. Garrett advocate for students and families in receiving proper treatment and care from both community and school resources," said nominator Wismine D'Avilar.
