Family Update
Dublin Jerome High School
From the Principal | March 22, 2024
Greetings!
As we start to think about returning to school next week, Mr. Aurin is beginning his leave of absence in preparation for his upcoming surgery in early April. Mr. Aurin's wife will be sending periodic updates that we will share through this newsletter to keep everyone in-the-know regarding his recovery. Before break on Friday, our staff celebrated Mr. Aurin by wearing black and gold because he is a big Steelers' fan! It was heart-warming and put a smile on his face.
Although his presence will be missed, Mr. Aurin has carefully planned in advance for the remainder of the year and leaves Jerome in good hands. Our administrative team, counselors, and staff are ready to welcome students back on Monday and to provide support in order to finish the last quarter of the school year strong. Please do not hesitate to reach out to our team with any needs!
Better Together,
Kristy Venne
