More congratulations are in order to the following people:
Congratulations to IHSPA retirees…
A few retirees equal many years of experience in this year’s “graduating class” of IHSPA advisers.
Literally thousands of students and all of us who have worked with the following people directly or indirectly are grateful for their contribution to scholastic journalism and education in general.
John Hannan will retire from Cathedral High School. His 35 years of experience include 26 at Cathedral and 9 at Cardinal Ritter.
Janie Norman will retire with 46 years experience at Lafayette Jefferson High School, all but four as a yearbook adviser.
Before Janie came to Jeff in 1980 she taught at in the Columbus, Ohio, city system and then at Park Hills in Fairborn, Ohio.
Ed Poe, yearbook adviser at Lawrence Central High School, will retire after 35 years in education (33 years at Lawrence Central and two years at Michigan City Elston).
Ed is a former IHSPA president and recipient of the Ella Sengenberger Award.
Cathy Shoup, a Carmel High School teacher for the past 16 years, has advised publications at Carmel and Warren Central in Indiana and Tridelphia and Wheeling Park in West Virginia.
IHSPA will recognize all four at the adviser luncheon at the state convention, Oct. 18, 2013.
If there are other retirees or other changes in staff, please report them so that we can update mailing and directory information.
