Dothan, Ala. (WDNews) – Dothan City Schools recognized Rafael Algarin of Carver 9th Grade Academy for his outstanding commitment to students, staff and school pride.
Algarin is an obvious candidate for Employee of the Month for May 2025. He keeps the campus spotless, but he is popular with students and staff for his kindness, calm demeanor and willingness to support students.
He goes out of his way to bridge the language barrier between students. He often steps in to help Spanish-speaking students and offers emotional support when they need it most.
Whether in the hallways, cafeteria or classrooms, Mr. Rafael is quick to lend a hand and encourage students to stay focused and confident.
In honor of his contributions, Rafael received a plaque, a Certificate of Appreciation and a $50 gift card to The Cellar. Before this, he has earned appreciation from the student body.
“Mr. Rafael is so helpful,” one student said. “He is always happy and that’s awesome.”
