The upcoming graduation of Vigo County high school seniors — the Class of 2022 — exemplifies the work of 75 retiring employees of the Vigo County School Corp.
That's how Superintendent Rob Haworth described the contributions of those VCSC employees, who included teachers, administrators and support staff retiring at the end of the current 2021-2022 school year. The employees' efforts helped those students reach that pivotal point in their lives, as well as those from many other graduating classes of previous years.
"You enabled that," Haworth said at a dinner Monday evening honoring the 75 retiring employees at The Meadows Conference Center on Terre Haute's east side.
The group's cumulative service to education totaled 1,351 years, said Michael Cox, VCSC director of human services and emcee of the dinner ceremony. The employees' individual years of service ranged from 10 to 46 years.
"Think of the number of lives you have touched," Cox told the group.
Also addressing the retiring employees were Vigo County School Board President Stacy Killion and Bart Colwell, president of The Hometown Savings Bank, sponsor of the event.
"Your life's work has meant so much to so many people," Colwell said.
