Retirement Announcement

After 25 years of faithful service to Heritage, Mrs. Schallau has informed us that she plans to retire at the end of the school year. As you all know, Kathy has been the "hub" here in the office for as long as most of us can remember so she leaves some big shoes to fill. We're so grateful for the way she has cheerfully greeted and assisted everyone who calls or comes through the doors and everything else she does in between all those interruptions to keep things running smoothly in the office. We're sad to see her go but also excited for her and Steve as they transition to this new phase of life and have more freedom to pick up and go visit their kids and grandkids! Thank you, Kathy, for the countless ways you and your family have been a blessing to Heritage! You will be missed!
