Board Approves Retirements
Mrs. Walter is a graduate of Hermann High School and spent her entire 29-year teaching career serving the students of the district. We appreciate her dedication and commitment to the many students whose lives she touched.
Dr. Tracey Hankins will retire after 30 years in education, 11 years in the classroom as an elementary teacher and 19 years as an administrator in public education. Dr. Hankins will continue to serve the district until June 30, 2018.
The Board of Education will begin the search for a replacement for the position of Superintendent immediately.
A Note from Dr. Hankins
The School District of Gasconade Co. R-I is a very special place. The teachers, staff, and administrators in the District are compassionate, kind, and caring individuals who are committed to providing an exceptional education for students. They go above and beyond and are willing to do whatever it takes to help students find success. I have truly enjoyed being a part of such a strong faculty.
“This is a special place.” This community cares about their school. The support of the patrons in this community gives our students a head start in life. Our students will grow up knowing what kindness, support, and strong character look like.
Finally, I am confident that the Board of Education will find a Superintendent to carry forward the mission, vision, and goals of this great district. As I retire from this profession I have loved for 30 years, I wish all the best for our school and our community.
