After students were dismissed from classes for the summer, the administrators at Carrol Community School District (CCSD) congratulated teachers for their hard work and accomplishments during a special end-of-the-year celebration earlier this week. Four instructors earned a Master’s Degree in education this year: Art Instructor, Christina Miller; Business Teacher, Chelsea Bissen; 4th Grade Teacher, Randy Bissen; and Elementary Instructor, Mallory Hackfort. Staff which have reached five-year, 10-year, 15-year, 20-year, 25-year and 35-year milestones in their service to CCSD were awarded pins thanking them for their dedication. Eighth-Grade Social Studies Teacher, Dale Schmidt, and Bus Driver, Jerry Spieler, were recognized for reaching the highest recognition of service, 40 years of employment. A full list of all employees recognized can be found included below this story.
