Three of the eight employees retiring have 30-plus years of experience. The collective longevity of all eight equals more than 200 years of experience.
“As always, when we have employees retire, we wish them well in their retirement, and we thank them for their service and dedication to Vicksburg Community Schools,” Superintendent Keevin O’Neill said. “We offer our best wishes to eight retiring employees who were faithful to the district and, day in and day out, contributed positively in various capacities for the good of our district’s students.”
The eight soon-to-be former employees are:
Diana Haring, Indian Lake third-grade teacher, 34 years of employment with VCS.
