They have made a huge impact in the lives of thousands of students throughout the course of their careers, and now they are beginning a new chapter in their own lives. The Jordan School District 2025 Class of Retirees were honored during a special dinner and celebration sponsored by the Board of Education on Tuesday night.
A total of 93 employees are retiring this year and together they have devoted 2,207 years to education. The longest serving retiree in this year’s class is Paul Thomas with 44 years followed by Dyke Nelsen with 41.25 years.
A huge thank you to all of our retirees. You have devoted countless hours to students and their education, and your work has made a huge difference in Jordan School District. We wish you the very best in your retirement, you will be missed.
Also a big thanks to the Mountain Ridge High School madrigals for a beautiful performance under the direction of Kelly DeHaan. And thanks to Jeramie Velarde for sharing his amazing musical talents, setting the stage as retirees were arriving for the evening.
Take one look at the trophy case at West Jordan High School and you will quickly realize students were finding huge success in academics and athletics throughout this school year. Students rose to the top, bringing home championship after championship.
