The Plainview-Old Bethpage Central School District celebrated the careers of 22 retiring, teachers and staff on June 21st.
Administrators recounted the years–and in many cases, decades– of service the retirees, who ranged in roles from clerk to assistant superintendent for business, had pledged to the District, and the essential parts they played in maintaining the tradition of excellence in POB schools. Many remarked on the additional time the retirees would have to spend with their family members and loved ones, many of whom were in attendance, now that their careers in education were behind them.
“These dedicated teachers and staff have done so much for our District over the years and we want to congratulate them for a job well done,” Superintendent of Schools Dr. Mary O’Meara said. “Each one has a fingerprint on our students’ successes and have made a tangible impact on generations of students who have passed through our doors.”
