Michael Haven has been named the February Laker Champion for Kids. Haven works as the network support manager district-wide in the technology department. The Laker Champion for Kids is awarded each month to a Laker staff member who goes above and beyond for students and colleagues. 

Haven was nominated by food service assistant Tonya Williams who wrote:

“He always goes above and beyond for the technology needs of the staff and students. He is always eager to help in a timely manner, is knowledgeable, positive, and uplifting in all situations. Technology is such a vital part of our daily operation in food service serving kids and when something doesn’t work, he is always our first call when we need help. We appreciate everything he does for us.”

Director of Technology Stephen Conner appreciates Haven's work within the schools and his department."

"In returning home to become the new IT Director for Calloway, he has been a valuable asset in the success of my transition," said Conner. "This award not only recognizes his outstanding contributions to the Calloway County Schools IT department, but his unwavering commitment of providing a safe and enriching online experience for all the students.  The Champion for Kids award shows his remarkable dedication and passion for his work and recognizes that one’s effort to go above and beyond to help our students achieve their academic goals does not go unnoticed.”
