Shawnee board recognizes student athletic achievements and staff retirement
Summary
The board recognized Jim Thorpe Academy students and celebrated Shawnee boys cross-country qualifying for state for the first time in 10 years; it also noted the retirement of Bill Huskey and a Shawnee High student signing with Oklahoma State University.
As part of the superintendent's report and recognitions, the board heard that Shawnee boys cross-country qualified for the state meet for the first time in 10 years and that one student medaled for the second consecutive year. The minutes record: "This is the first time in 10 years that the boys high school team qualified for the state meet. One of the students medaled for the second year in a row and third year to qualify."
The board also recognized Jim Thorpe Academy students introduced by Principal Hannah Holland and noted the retirement of Bill Huskey (the minutes list the retirement under superintendent announcements without a specified position). In board-member comments, Mandy Hillhouse added that a Shawnee High School student is signing with Oklahoma State University and praised recent Veterans' Day assemblies; Clif Harden complimented the community Christmas parade.
The recognitions were ceremonial and recorded in the minutes; no formal motions or votes were associated with the acknowledgments.
