A little late posting but before school got out we celebrated some of our staff members reaching years of service milestones. Congratulations to Coach Anderson, Mrs. Behulak, Mrs. Hoskin, Ms. Tugwell, Mr. Mangan, Mr. Reamer and Ms. Whittley! We ❤️ our Pine Trail family!

Today was a day of celebration as we paid tribute to our six retirees who have dedicated many years of service to Volusia County Schools. We congratulate Mrs. Ingram, Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Carter, Coach Anderson, Ms. Penny, and Mrs. Hoskin on their retirement and wish them happiness in their next chapter. Their absence will be deeply felt at PTE.💚
