Superintendent Sam Himmel
After an incredible 20 years of dedication and service as our Superintendent of Schools, we had the honor of celebrating Mrs. Sandra "Sam" Himmel’s remarkable career during Tuesday's School Board workshop.
The surprise came for Mrs. Himmel when Chairman Thomas Kennedy said he had received a bunch of green cards. Family and close friends then began to file into the school board chambers. One by one - many shared heartfelt stories of how Sam has impacted countless lives throughout her career.
One of the most special moments? Her granddaughter, Rorie, delivering a touching tribute that brought smiles to everyone.
We capped off the day with a brunch in her honor, featuring one of her favorites – Mr. Bunch's chicken and waffles!
Thank you to everyone who took time out of their day to honor such an incredible person. Thank you, Mrs. Himmel, for your unwavering commitment to our schools and community. Your legacy will continue to inspire us all!
