Dear Friend of CCSD93,
Messages From
Superintendent Hill:
|
With the school year concluding on Wednesday, May 26 for all preschool through 7th grade students, I want to take this opportunity to acknowledge our 2021 retirees.
The following individuals have dedicated significant time, effort and energy toward helping CCSD93 achieve its mission of maximizing the academic, social and emotional potential of each student. Each has made a substantial contribution to our students, families and community, and for that I am extremely grateful.
Their talent and commitment to the educational experience of our students will be missed, and we wish them nothing but the best in retirement!

*Please note: some retirees have expressed the desire not to be publicly acknowledged. Those individuals have not been included in this message. |
