District recognizes 19 retiring district employees
This year, 19 employees are retiring from positions all across the district. Collectively, they have contributed 358 years of service to EPS students, families and colleagues. Unfortunately, in light of the current social distancing guidelines, the district is not able to honor them with the in-person retirement celebration that has traditionally been held.
Even so, we want to celebrate their hard work and dedication to Edina students and families with a special EPS In Focus photo blog, where you can read favorite memories and their retirement plans.
We are grateful for the time each of these retirees have devoted to support the work of Edina Public Schools. We thank them and wish them well as they begin the next chapter of their lives:
