At USD's annual employee recognition event on May 14, 2025, USD colleagues gathered to honor team members for reaching big milestones in their years of service. We also celebrated our classified employees and educators of the year for the 2024-25 school year, and said a bittersweet goodbye to those who are retiring from Union School District after many dedicated years.
We are wishing a bittersweet farewell to eighteen USD team members who have retired this year or will be retiring at the end of the school year. Our retirees are a dedicated group of individuals, and while we are all sad to see them leave, they will always be a part of our USD Community, and we wish them all the best in retirement. Best wishes to our 2025 retirees!
