Auburn School Committee recognizes multiple retirees across district schools
Summary
The committee held a retiree recognition ceremony honoring staff from across Auburn Public Schools with service years ranging from 2 to 44, naming teachers, custodial staff, guidance and transportation employees.
The Auburn School Committee on June 4 recognized more than a dozen retirees from across the district, citing years of service and thanking them for their work.
Why it matters: the retirements mark a generational staffing turnover and recognize long service across classroom, custodial, transportation and administrative roles.
Recipients and service years (as presented to the committee): Suzanne Haman (Auburn Middle School) — 7 years in Auburn; June Samard (East Auburn Community School) — 40 years; Deborah Hammond (Fairview) — 19 years in Auburn, 27 years in education overall; Jimmy Hudson (custodial, Fairview) — 24 years; Martha LeVasseur (Fairview) — 27 years; Denise Bowie (Sherwood Heights) — 4 years in Auburn, over 25 years in education overall; Susan Herrick (Sherwood Heights) — 23 years; Stephanie Bourdieu (Walton) — service years not specified in the excerpt; Sharon Pelletier (central office) — 9 years; Juliette Dasia (adult education) — 28 years; William “Bill” Cody (teacher, Everett Little High School) — 29 years; Richard Bissonnette (Fairview Crossing Guide) — 2 years; Doris Short (bus driver) — 44 years.
Several school leaders and colleagues spoke in tribute, describing retirees’ classroom impact, mentorship and community presence. The committee and audience offered applause and best wishes; some retirees were unable to attend and were honored in absentia.
