At Tecumseh Public Schools, our students succeed because of the passionate and dedicated educators who challenge, support, and inspire them every day. Through our This is Us: Staff Spotlight series, we celebrate the individuals who make TPS a place where students thrive.
Today, we’re spotlighting someone who plays a vital role in supporting student health and well-being: Emily Wines BSN, RN, the district nurse for Tecumseh Public Schools!
Meet Emily Wines
Emily’s compassionate care and dedication create a welcoming space where students feel safe and supported.
What do you enjoy most about working at TPS?
"Building meaningful relationships with students is what I love most. I strive to make the nurse’s office a safe and welcoming space where they feel at ease, and I enjoy learning about their unique interests. I’m also incredibly grateful for the support I receive from TPS staff—without their collaboration and dedication, I couldn't do my job as effectively."
What's one thing you wish people knew about the work you do?
"School nursing goes far beyond handing out Band-Aids and ice packs! My days are incredibly busy and often challenging as I juggle the needs of four buildings, but this role is, without a doubt, the most fulfilling nursing position I've had the honor of holding. The opportunity to support students' health and well-being every day makes this work truly rewarding."
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
"Outside of work, I love watching my boys do the things they love, reading a good book, and spending time with friends and family."
Emily, thank you for your unwavering dedication to the health and well-being of our students. Your care and compassion make a lasting impact on our school community.
