We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Bonnie Silbaugh and Michelle Fields for their dedicated service on the Greene County School Board. Both Bonnie and Michelle served one four-year term and contributed countless hours of time and effort to support our students, staff, and community.

During their time on the board, they served on numerous committees and worked tirelessly behind the scenes to navigate complex challenges, including the hiring of a new superintendent. Bonnie’s leadership as both president and vice president of the board, along with Michelle’s service as vice president, helped guide the district through important decisions and growth.

We are grateful for their commitment, leadership, and passion for education. Their work has made a lasting impact on Greene County schools.

Thank you, Bonnie and Michelle, for your years of service and dedication!

Thank you to MFRC Director Sara Huddleston for speaking to our career academy welding students this morning. Sara had the students' attention by bringing real-world advice on how to have a positive first impression and how to have a successful job interview.
