Celebrating our retirees
62 district employees are ringing in retirement. The retirees from the past two school years were honored at a banquet at the Lake Elmo Inn Event Center. This group of long-time employees has 1,300 combined years of service to the students and families of our district. We wish them the best in their retirement and thank them for their dedicated service to our school community.
