District honors longtime faculty & staff for their service

With the new school year just five days away, administration, faculty, and staff gathered together for the first of two Superintendent’s Conference Days on Thursday morning. They continued their preparations for Tuesday, September 6 when they get to welcome students back into the schools.

During a ceremony in the WVHS auditorium, Superintendent David Leach and Board of Ed President Keith Parsons took time to thank many of the district’s longtime faculty and staff members. Commemorative pins were presented to the following staff members who have reached service milestones.

Congratulations to all, and thank you for your years of dedication to the students and families of the Warwick Valley Central School District.
