Mr. Bill Anderson, long-time
educator and former
Superintendent of
Eagle
Mountain-Sag
inaw ISD, passed away peacefully Tuesday
morning. He was 86. Our hearts are heavy with the loss of such a pillar
in our community.
Bill Anderson was a living history of EMS ISD and the Saginaw area. Of his 43 years in education, he dedicated 29 of those to the families of our district and
community. After his retirement, Mr. Anderson continued to serve in key roles to support the school district and public education. He served on the EMS ISD Education Foundation Board of Directors and as
Chairman of the Board of the Region 11 Education Service Center.
Steve Newcom, on be
half of the Board of Education, had this to say about Mr. Anderson:
"Mr. Anderson was a man with a big heart. He loved our school district, staff and students. He worked tirelessly to lay the groundwork that helped us become the school district we are today. After his retirement, he remained an integral part of our community and was a valuable resource to current and past school boards. We as a school board are grateful for his leadership, steadfastness, guidance, and friendship.
"
Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends during this difficult time. As a district, we mourn his loss but celebrate in knowing that Mr. Anderson's legacy will live on in EMS ISD and in the hearts of those of us who were privileged to know him.
