Eleven individuals who together represent close to 175 years of experience walked out of the school door for a final time.

These educators who are retiring this year were honored at a reception held in their honor. Dr. Drottar is perhaps the best known but they were all highly treasured. These people made a tremendous impact on the Milton Public Schools. They  include:

Dr. John Drottar, Milton High School principal, who has served 31 years in Milton; Rebecca Warner, Glover teacher, who has served 24 years in Milton; Gracie Burke, World Language Director, who has served 21 years in Milton; Christine Shaw, instruction aide, who served 11 years in Milton; Hugh Bonner, Food Service assistant, who served 10 years in Milton; Joanne Bonner, teacher and Pierce Middle School librarian, who served 20 years in Milton; Dr. Susan Whalen, school psychologist, who served 8 years in Milton; Denise Doyle, instructional aide, who served 14 years in Milton; Phil Genatossio, physical education/health teacher at Pierce and athletic trainer at Milton High; Gerard Schultz, Collicot Principal, who served 7 years in Milton; and Patricia McDonald, Tucker Elementary School secretary, who served 24 years in Milton.

Congratulations all – and thank you!
