Michelle Wombat, standing in for Nicole Parker, presented the awards and described the PBIS nomination and selection process: staff nominate colleagues who exemplify one of the district’s PBIS expectations — be safe, be respectful, be responsible — and the district PBIS team selects one staff member for each category. The recipients receive a certificate and a digital badge for their email signatures.

The district recognized Luis Marietta (Buena High School) for “Be Safe,” a staff member identified as “Miss McCorkle” for “Be Respectful,” and Carrie Muscarella for “Be Responsible.” The district thanked the honorees and invited them to receive photographs and recognition with the board and superintendent.

Presenters said Buena High School offers multiple band and choir ensembles, theater productions, art levels from Art I through AP, and electives such as guitar, piano and music technology. Sophie Hebnis and Sofia Chavez, who identified themselves as members of the International Thespian Society and representatives of Buena’s choir and theater programs, said 11 seniors will present capstone projects in late March seeking the Arizona State Seal of Arts Proficiency on diplomas. \"We invite the board, public, and supporters of the arts to enjoy pieces from our talented and hardworking students' repertoire and celebrate this achievement,\" Hebnis said.

Staff and students also reviewed a recent choir trip to Hawaii that was approved by the board. Choir teacher Miss Golding and student presenters described a program of performances and cultural exchanges: students visited Kamehameha High School for a school exchange, sang at the USS Missouri, toured the USS Arizona memorial at Pearl Harbor, visited the Polynesian Cultural Center and Iolani Palace, and participated in regional competitions. Presenters said 51 people participated in the trip and all returned safely.

District staff urged community members to attend upcoming performances, including the senior capstone presentations, the spring musical Anything Goes, and a series of band and choir concerts in May and June. No formal action accompanied the presentation; it was informational.","District presenters outlined K–12 fine arts offerings, upcoming performances and a recent choir trip to Hawaii where students performed and visited Pearl Harbor and cultural sites.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6604320,"Sierra Vista superintendent announces retirement effective June 30",205,2486000,2691000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2990101-8a72be27759fb7adf35823f315eec35c&start=2486&end=2691","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2990101-8a72be27759fb7adf35823f315eec35c/thumbnail_2486000.jpg","/articles/6604320/Arizona/Sierra-Vista-superintendent-announces-retirement-effective-June-30","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6604320-05ce3ecef302c8557a6027722b7ad1eb/orig.mp4?Expires=1771174679&Signature=Xg-yEMKoA5yxXzbN0fAyVE1INS5Zod0VH4ALuPU0yDB18KWxZ9Ui4afEnyOO4QAaU0Q4gjpeVjT08JxG2jAPsgXW1D50FIizwrjpJIF-36mMlgz26p27hUX3LHGrjkgmCodAyeU9nFMdzM4rej0aejPqVxjicOxOkdwR4W-Vu-ROs6-XJPGtKdK~olgJCv-zdhnpGZZ3IRiVpzNsSW9gJebyI7Fu7~R~u--J5EqNMJ774cnax5l79xaKoQTqz9LbIlTHD5vB4fPeYbbySPgEmd7UTo8k8m2cZeSd36O~q2yJCOBS2vbfswl~6c05Xn6Xf3167UidjN3-BKC2mritIw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Dr. Eric Holmes, superintendent of Sierra Vista Unified School District (SVUSD), told the governing board at its regular meeting that he intends to retire at the end of the 2024–25 school year and that his last day will be Monday, June 30.

Holmes made the announcement during the board’s information and discussion section, thanking current and past board members, administrators, staff, students and the Sierra Vista community for the opportunity to serve. “It has been an honor to work with all of you for the last 5 years in fulfilling our mission to prepare our children for their futures,” Holmes said.

The announcement prompted remarks from Board President Lee expressing gratitude for Holmes’s five years of service and acknowledging uncertainty that can accompany a leadership transition. President Lee said the board would take time to select a successor and requested a work session to discuss options and next steps.

No formal action was taken at the meeting to begin a search or to appoint an interim superintendent. Board members and staff who spoke at the meeting offered public thanks and asked that the transition be handled carefully; President Lee specifically requested a work session so the board can gather input before proceeding.

The district did not provide a timeline for a formal search, naming process, or interim coverage in the meeting record. Details about hiring procedures, candidate criteria, or whether the board will retain a search firm were not specified at the meeting.","Dr. Eric Holmes told the governing board he will retire at the end of the 2024–25 school year, with a final day of Monday, June 30; board president requested a work session to discuss succession planning.","actionData","errors"]
