After many years of dedicated service to Wayne County Public Schools, 84 retiring employees will be recognized at the district’s 2020-2021 Retirement Ceremony. This year, the ceremony will be held virtually at 4 PM today, Thursday, May 27, on the WCPS LIVE channel accessible via www.waynecountyschools.org, and on Channel 18 on Spectrum Cable.
District administrators say the recognition event will honor retiring employees for their dedicated and faithful service to our schools and collective contributions to North Carolina public education.
“As an employee of Wayne County Public Schools, every retiree had a valuable role in helping our schools address student needs,” states Dr. David Lewis, Interim Superintendent. “Regardless of their position, our retirees helped make a difference in a child’s life each and every day they came to work. I wish all of them very best in their retirement and hope they have a wonderful future ahead.”
All total, retirees had approximately 1,946 cumulative years employed in the education profession in North Carolina. The 2020-2021 retirees are as follows:
