The Kenosha Unified School District announced on May 4 that it is honoring staff members who have reached five years of service. The district expressed gratitude to these employees for their commitment and care toward the school community.

This recognition highlights the importance of long-term dedication among school staff, which contributes to the stability and success of educational programs throughout the district. Staff from a wide range of schools, including Bradford High School, Bullen Middle School, Curtis Strange Elementary School, Indian Trail High School and Academy, and others were acknowledged for their contributions.

Among those recognized are Michael Axthelm, Kelli Griffin, William Lynch, Alison Merritt, Gloria Morales, Maria Sabourin, Halee Schaefer, Danielle Shumann, Tamara Weathersby from Bradford High School; Jean Goedel and Kayla Larsen from Bullen Middle School; Elizabeth Ade from Curtis Strange Elementary; Analise Biddle and Grace Cannon from Indian Trail High School and Academy; as well as many others across elementary and secondary schools in the district.

Indian Trail High School and Academy stands out in recent data as having enrolled 2,001 students during the 2023-24 school year according to the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction. This figure represents not only the largest student body among Kenosha County schools but also reflects a 1.1% increase in enrollment compared to the previous year according to state records.

Recognizing staff milestones such as five years of service is part of ongoing efforts by Kenosha Unified School District to foster a supportive work environment. These acknowledgments serve both as appreciation for current employees and encouragement for continued commitment within local education.
