The Troy Board of Education meeting on May 5, 2025, highlighted the achievements of students and the dedication of retiring staff, marking a significant moment for the Troy City Schools community.
The evening kicked off with the Trojan Stars PBIS student recognitions from Iowa Elementary, where students were celebrated for their outstanding behavior. Mister Dylan, a key figure in the program, emphasized the importance of social-emotional skills, sportsmanship, and community building among students. "It's important to teach that at a really young age," he stated, as he encouraged students to cheer for one another, even when they are not selected as winners. The excitement was palpable as students shared their accomplishments, reinforcing a culture of positivity and support within the school.
In a heartfelt segment, the board recognized retiring staff members, collectively contributing an impressive 398 years of service to the district. Each retiree was honored for their unique impact on students and the community, with Mister Dylan expressing gratitude for their dedication. "Your impact cannot be measured by years alone, but by the lives you've touched," he remarked, underscoring the lasting legacy these educators leave behind.
Among those honored were Mister David Palmer, retiring after 12 years as athletic director, and Linda, who dedicated 38 years to food service. The recognition of these individuals not only celebrated their careers but also highlighted the strong sense of family within the Troy City Schools.
As the meeting concluded, the board encouraged attendees to reflect on the contributions of these educators and the bright future ahead for the students they have nurtured. The evening served as a reminder of the vital role education plays in shaping lives and communities.
