Ruth Morris

Midland Valley High School

Nurse

"I am thrilled to have been chosen for this honor.  I am grateful for the people I work with, and the students I get to take care of each day!  I love working at MVHS!"


Ms. Ruth Morris has worked for ACPSD for six years and is currently serving as the Nurse at Midland Valley High School.

Nurse Morris is always diligent in her work and cares a lot for our kids. Recently, a student came to her experiencing dizziness and chest pain. She promptly informed the parent, and the student was taken to the hospital. That morning, the mother called Ruth, expressing her gratitude and saying that, because of her quick action, she saved her child’s life. Both Ruth and the mother were emotional and grateful for the outcome.

Yes, our nurses truly save lives!

Thank you to our February Employee of the Month Ms. Ruth Morris for demonstrating excellence as an employee of ACPSD! We appreciate all you do!
