Last night at the Board of Education meeting, we were proud to recognize our secretaries and clerical paraprofessionals for their outstanding service to our district. They were presented with Certificates of Recognition honoring their commitment to excellence and the countless ways they help our schools run smoothly, each and every day.

Their dedication, professionalism, and behind-the-scenes support play an essential role in the success of our students, staff, and schools. We are incredibly grateful for all they do.
