More than 60 DMPS employees – from teachers to support professionals as each school district department (Academics, Business and Finance, Human Resources and Operations) – were honored at a special reception on Friday afternoon at the Wakonda Club in Des Moines. Superintendent Dr. Thomas Ahart offered his congratulations, and retirees were presented with a golden apple and a lifetime activities pass to honor their service.
People who dedicate their career to a life in service of students are very special because their impact on the world is immeasurable.
Congratulations and Thank You to the DMPS Retiring ‘Class of 2019’
