“Our school board members are citizen-servants who shoulder critical responsibilities and often make difficult choices for our district, all with minimal pay,” Superintendent Elizabeth Kirby said. “Their focus is always on the future success of the children in our district. Celebrating School Board Recognition Month is one way to say thanks for all they do.”
Serving as a link between the community and classroom, school board members are elected to establish the policies that provide the framework for public schools. The CH-UH school board is responsible for an annual budget of $120 million, nearly 5,000 students, approximately 880 employees and 11 schools.
Board members currently serving CH-UH are Dan Heintz, Malia Lewis, Jim Posch, Jodi Sourini, and Beverly Wright.
Under this board’s leadership, the District was placed on the 10th Annual AP District Honor Roll, a prestigious honor recognizing schools for successfully identifying motivated, academically prepared students who are ready for Advanced Placement classes. Furthermore, this board has overseen major renovations to Monticello Middle School, Roxboro Middle School, and Heights High School, as well as expansion of the
Career Technical Education program from three partner school districts to five.
In January, the District will celebrate our five board members with social media tributes, videos, and recognition at the regular Board of Education meeting on January 5.
“It’s more important than ever that communities support public education so that today’s students are prepared to be productive citizens and the leaders of tomorrow,” Kirby said. “Please take a moment and tell school board members ‘thanks for caring about our children and giving so much to our community.’ Let them know we support them and that their dedicated service is recognized and truly appreciated.”
