Garden City Public Schools welcomed back staff for the 2023-2024 school year during Superintendent’s Conference Day on Aug. 31 at Garden City High School. Superintendent of Schools Dr. Kusum Sinha led the attendees in the Pledge of Allegiance before senior Maeve Gillespie sang a beautiful a capella rendition of the national anthem. A special surprise was in store as the Garden City High School Drumline entered the auditorium and gave an amazing performance.
The agenda included addresses from Dr. Sinha, Board of Education President Joseph Sileo, PTA President Donna Kraus and SEPTA President Erin Debrich. Long-term service employees were recognized and received a commemorative pin and certificate of appreciation. New teachers, staff and administration were introduced by Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources & Leadership Development Nanine McLaughlin before staff attended training and building specific events in the afternoon.
“Our staff is energized and excited to welcome back our students for the new school year,” Sinha said. “The engagement and dedication of our educators is inspiring!”
