Wyandotte Public Schools Honors Staff Members

Several Wyandotte educators, administrators and support staff were honored at Tuesday's Board of Education meeting for going above and beyond the call of duty.

"The Wyandotte District Outstanding Staff Awards could be considered the 'Honors Night' for our staff members," school superintendent Carla Harting said. "Staff members are selected who have made contributions to our district through their hard work, support of students, and staff members.
