Hamilton City Council presented proclamations honoring two long-serving Baden High School teachers, Paul Zimmerman and Chuck Minery, and recognized senior Kathleen Burke for academic achievement.
The council read proclamations that described decades of teaching and coaching by Mr. Zimmerman and Mr. Minery, noting classroom teaching, coaching contributions including Baden’s 1990 state championship football season and honors both have received.
