Regina Jr Sr High Newsletter
Mid-Summer 2019
From the Principal
You will see some dust flying around the school this summer. Thanks to the great support of our donors and the hard work of the Regina Foundation and Capital Campaign Committee, big changes will be taking place. The modular classrooms and old weight room will be going down to make room for a new educational wing. This will also include some changes to our parking and driving areas in the back of the school. The elementary will be getting a new playground. Most of the bathrooms in the center will receive a well-deserved makeover.
We also have some changes in our teaching staff. We say good bye to Lauren Hunstad (English - 1 year), Gordon Hackett (Science - 4 years), Bill Koenig (Math - 4 years), and Martha Hartwig (Math - 13 years). We thank them for their hard work and dedication to our students.
We welcome Conice McIntyre (math), Nancy Owen (English), and Matt Staab (Math & Science).
I pray that all of you have a great rest of your summer.

Talk to any student and they would say Mr. Demory is a perfect choice to receive this award.
Congratulations to John Demory, master art teacher, for this well-deserved award!
