Attention GMS, it's time to celebrate three AMAZING staff members who are retiring at the end of this school year: Mr. Dean Johnson, Mr. Bob Thomas, and Mrs. Andrea Hogue.
Mr. Johnson is our courageous Assistant Principal
This is his 26th year at GMS. He has worked here as a 6th grade teacher, an 8th grade teacher, and now as an assistant principal. He has impacted thousands of students during his time here.
Mr. Thomas is our wonderful PE Teacher
This is his 35th year in education. He has taught at many schools including Creston, DeKalb, Rochelle, Cambridge, and several schools in Geneseo. He has made a lasting impact on generations of students.
Mrs. Hogue is our phenomenal Life Skills Teacher
This is her 34th year in education, including 3 years at Orion Middle School and 31 years at Geneseo Middle School. She has supported and cared for countless students in Life Skills.
All three of these staff members have made a huge impact on GMS and our students.
To help us celebrate them, we will be hiding pictures of each retiree around the school over the next couple of weeks.
If you find a picture, bring it to a lunch supervisor during lunch. You will get a piece of candy for turning it in, and the picture will go on our bulletin board.
Most importantly, please take time to thank them when you see them and let them know how much they are appreciated.
