    RECOGNIZING THE RETIRING TEACHERS AT INTER-LAKES HIGH SCHOOL IN 
                        MEREDITH, NEW HAMPSHIRE

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. CAROL SHEA-PORTER

                            of new hampshire

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 22, 2017

  Ms. SHEA-PORTER. Mr. Speaker, all teachers are special, but educators 
who stay way beyond normal retirement dates deserve extra credit. In my 
district, I have four educators from the same high school, Inter-Lakes 
High School in Meredith, NH, who are retiring after a combined 150 
years in education. That is truly remarkable, and I join with their 
community to thank them for their service to the children and the 
community.
   Vice Principal William Athans has been working in education for 51 
years, which is simply incredible. Guidance counselor Christina Gribben 
has been assisting students and helping them reach their full potential 
for 43 years. World languages teacher Nancy Stetson has been teaching 
for 35 years, and science teacher Joyce Warburton has been expanding 
minds and preparing students for 21 years.
   These educators have played a tremendous role in the lives of so 
many New Hampshire students. They have planted knowledge and wisdom in 
young minds and prepared their students for success. I hope our newly 
minted retirees enjoy a long and happy retirement. They certainly have 
earned it.
