A newly designated special room at Anderson County High School is designed to give teachers a place to relax and recharge during the school day.
The Gary Terry Wellness Room, named for the school’s athletic director, includes tables, chairs, couches, massage chairs, a microwave, a coffeemaker and a refrigerator stocked with snacks.
School officials said funds for the room were raised through sales of GT Strong T-shirts, which were purchased to support Terry during his battle with cancer.
The room was unveiled during the Anderson County Board of Education meeting on Jan. 8.
Chloe Freeman, student board member for ACHS, announced the opening and described the space as having “everything you can imagine” teachers would want.
