This afternoon at Sanford High School, we held the Naming Rights Ceremony honoring Karen with the dedication of the Alternative Education Suite in her name. It's a fitting tribute for someone who has spent nearly three decades creating a place where students who needed it most could find support, belonging, and a path to graduation.
Karen built the Alternative Education program into something truly special: a smaller, relationship-based learning environment where students could rebuild confidence and stay on track.
As Karen steps into a well-deserved retirement, her legacy lives on. Not just in the name on that door, but in every student who walked across the stage because she believed in them. 💙
Thank you, Karen. Sanford is better because of you.
