Shared from the NSAA page: We are so lucky to have Jerry as a central part of the Cougar Family! Thank you Jerry for all you do! ⏫⏩ The Nebraska School Activities Association is proud to recognize Jerry Smyth of Central Valley High School as this week’s Above and Beyond Award nominee. For many years, Jerry Smyth has been an indispensable member of the Central Valley school community. As the sole driver of the Central Valley Cougar Bus, a 60-passenger utility bus used for student activities, Jerry ensures that students arrive safely at games, competitions, and events across Nebraska. His calm demeanor, patience, and cheerful attitude have made him a favorite among students. Before every away event, one of the first questions asked is, “Are we riding on the Cougar Bus with Jerry?” This speaks volumes about the trust and rapport he has built with generations of students. Riding with Jerry is more than transportation—it’s an experience filled with safety, encouragement, and a sense of fun that students remember long after they leave Central Valley. Jerry’s tireless efforts exemplify the very spirit of the Above and Beyond Award. He is a quiet hero whose work is essential to the success of Central Valley’s activities, ensuring that students have the opportunities, guidance, and support they need to thrive. Central Valley High School, its students, staff, and the broader community are immeasurably better because of Jerry Smyth. His dedication, integrity, and heart for service leave a lasting impact on everyone fortunate enough to cross paths with him. 📲Read the full story here: bit.ly/40CtOaH 🏅You can nominate someone here 👉 bit.ly/NSAAabovebeyond
