WCPS “Bean” Spotlight: Love and Accountability

As we kick off the school year with our “Be a Bean” theme, we’re celebrating WCPS employees and alumni who are transforming their environments in powerful ways.

Today’s spotlight is on Lawrence Cox, horticulture instructor at Holston High School, and Andrew Greer, a 2025 Holston graduate.

Andrew admitted school wasn’t always his favorite, and that he’d rather be outside working with his hands than sitting in a classroom. But Mr. Cox saw something in him! Last year, he made Andrew the greenhouse manager, giving him a role that played to his strengths and boosted his confidence. Growing lettuce in the aquaponics lab became one of Andrew’s favorite parts of school, and his attendance went from chronically absent to nearly perfect.

Now, Andrew is giving back to the same school where he discovered his passion and is working as a custodian.

Students in Mrs. Christine Mitten's English classes and Mr. Carter Harlow's Art classes participated in The Butterfly Project, glazing ceramic butterflies in memory of the 1.5 million children killed during the Holocaust. Mrs. Mitten read the poem "The Butterfly" by Pavel Friedmann and discussed the symbolism of the butterfly--hope and resilience--as students painted. This was a wonderful collaborative activity to conclude National Poetry Month.
