Catalina Foothills board honors volunteers, outgoing members and state‑champion swim team
Summary
The Catalina Foothills Unified School District governing board recognized volunteers and student winners, and unanimously approved resolutions honoring outgoing board members Doug Hadley and Carol Siegler during its Dec. 10 meeting.
The Catalina Foothills Unified School District Governing Board on Dec. 10 recognized community volunteers and student achievements and adopted resolutions honoring two long‑serving board members.
Superintendent Denise Bartlett opened the meeting’s awards segment by listing student accomplishments, including seven Hugh O’Brien Youth Leadership (HOBY) nominees, selections to state choral honors and six First Lego League teams that advanced to the state championship. “This year, we're pleased to announce the nomination of 7 outstanding sophomores,” Bartlett said, highlighting the district’s extracurricular achievements.
Carol Siegler presented a “super volunteer” award to Angela (Angie) Jackson of Catalina Foothills High School for four years of service to athletics, including organizing snacks, pregame meals, hydration stations and booster activities. Jackson thanked athletic director Charles Pierce and the booster board; Pierce said he relied on Jackson’s support during his first year as athletic director.
Board member Doug Hadley presented a Catalina Foothills Star Award to the girls swim and dive team and Coach Tamara Brand Huber after the squad won the Division II state championship. Hadley praised the team’s depth and relays, noting several underclassmen who scored points and will return next season. Coach Brand Huber credited the swimmers’ consistency and “a completely team effort.”
The board then took formal action to recognize departing board members. Vice President Amy Krause read a resolution honoring Robert (Doug) Hadley for eight years of service; the board moved and seconded the resolution and approved it unanimously, 5–0. Krause later presented a second resolution honoring Carol Siegler for decades of service; the board again approved the resolution, 5–0.
The recognitions came early in a broader meeting that also addressed routine consent items, governance business and a first reading of policy updates. The board adjourned its public session to return to executive session later in the evening for the superintendent’s midyear performance review.
The board’s next regular meeting is scheduled for Jan. 14, 2025, when the animals‑in‑schools policy will return for a second reading and the board will resume business.
