Summary
The board recognized the 2025 Fall A+ award winners from across Westerville schools and acknowledged 16 district retirees whose combined service the presenter said spans decades.
Westerville City Schools used the Nov. 24 board meeting to recognize teachers and staff who received the district's 2025 Fall A+ awards and to honor longtime employees preparing to retire.
Administrators read nominations for award recipients across the district. Among those recognized were Walnut Springs principal Dr. Michelle Martin (unable to attend), Faust Elementary art teacher Heather Fredo, Minerva Park Middle School attendance secretary Mikaela Leonard, Genoa Middle School behavior intervention specialist Matthew Phillips, Hamby Elementary teachers Tenley Arrington and Donna Schrodes (nominations spelled variably in the transcript), Mark Twain Elementary teacher Angie Lee, Huber Ridge Elementary intervention specialist Della Potts, McVay/McBay Elementary counselor Andrea Wiseman and North High School intervention specialist (named with variant spellings in the record) who was applauded for using a 3D printer to create an iPad keyguard separating functions and saving roughly $150–$200 per device.
Director Scott Reeves also presented the personnel consent agenda noting 16 licensed retirements (service years listed individually up to 38). The board thanked retirees and awardees and applauded community volunteers who supported the recent ballot campaign.
What’s next: Award recipients will be photographed and the district will continue celebrating retirements and service milestones at school events.
