Bio:
Greetings! I’m Helen Brockett, Family Ambassador for Gray’s Creek High School. I’ve been married to my husband Dave Brockett for 45-years. We are native Tennesseans, but my husband’s job brought us to Fayetteville in 1986. We have lived in the Gray’s Creek Community for 40-years.

I am the mother of three amazing daughters, Eleana, Keri, Hilary and two bonus daughters, Ann and Christina (deceased). Eight beautiful grandchildren (4 granddaughters, Emily, Lucy, Chatham, Piersen) and 4 grandsons, Trae, Liam, Brady, Callan) and 4 bonus granddaughters, Chloe, Morgann, Sydney, Riley.

I am retired from Cape Fear Valley Medical Center as the Volunteer Coordinator and Gray’s Creek Elementary School as a Data Manager.

My daughters all attended and graduated from Cumberland County Schools. It has been my pleasure to volunteer in the school system since 1989.

My community service organizations include being a member of the Gray’s Creek Woman’s Club, Marvin United Methodist Church, the National Ruritan Organization, Fayetteville Cumberland Parks and Recreation Advisory Council, and a Lifetime Member of the Girl Scouts of America.
