2020 Honorary Service Award Recipients

Posted on by

In this time when reality seems more like a movie and life has changed for us all, the SPHS PTSA is moving forward with a new Honorary Service Awards celebration.  A handful of people have made videos for this year’s recipients. Each and every one of them has gone above and beyond their title description and given all they could to our schools for many years.  I would also like to say a big thank you to the SPHS PTSA and Janet Anderson for keeping the PTSA on track and finishing the year strong. 
Congratulations to all the 2020 Honorary Service Award recipients. 
Kathleen Michel – Honorary Service Awards Chair
