Each year we recognize and celebrate the hard work and dedication that our staff provides to our districts, students, and the ESC all year long. All staff (along with a guest) and our Governing Board were invited to celebrate the year's successes and to gather with their coworkers. This year's celebration was held April 22, 2024 at The Center Cafe at the Medina County Career Center. The celebration included a social hour, delicious Hors D'oeuvers prepared by Chef Tony and his students, and an awards presentation honoring our staff for years of service and the presentation of the Rookie of the Year and Carl W. Breyley Distinguished Service Award.
This celebration is to not only recognize those milestones and awards, but to say thank you and express our appreciation for our staff and all they do to make our ESC a valuable resource for our customers. The ESC's success and growth is because of our staff's hard work, dedication, and the relationships they build with staff and students.
Thank you to an amazing group of professionals! Please know that your contributions to our success do not go unnoticed!
