With very mixed emotions, the DCS School Board is “officially” announcing that Mrs. Johnson will be retiring at the end of this school year. Mrs. Johnson has been in education for 35 years starting as a music teacher in Saginaw, Michigan, then in Galion, OH. She then received her Masters from BGSU where she taught as a graduate assistant and then moved to Delaware where she taught in the Buckeye Valley schools. After a hiatus to care for two young children, she started at DCS where she taught 2nd and 3rd grade for a total of nine years. Mrs. Johnson assumed the role as elementary principal and assistant administrator in 1998. This job has been the right niche for Mrs. Johnson’s spiritual gifts and educational expertise and we realize she can be replaced but her role here won’t ever be duplicated. The school board desires to solicit applicants or recommendations from the Christian community which would include present staff, parents, Delaware Bible, area churches, and public and private schools. Applications will be accepted through October 31. The job description will soon be posted on our website. Applications are available by contacting our office. A personnel committee established by the school board will make a final hiring decision.
