INDEPENDENT Plitt PAPERS OF AMERICA ac_ twu U•n • 11AmaNt. •tig We would like to extend a heart-felt and sincere THANK YOU to Mrs. Betty Aim Rember who has served as principal at Panguitch High School for the past 10 years. For these past 10 years she has driven 140 miles a day because she loves the students and staff and that love and encouragement have brought huge dividends to our school. She has been a leader, example, and passionate advocate for kids and has helped bring PHS to its status as the #1 Small School in the state of Utah...twice (ksl.com). The recognition does not stop there as PHS was also distinguished in the top 1000 schools in the Nation (US News and World Report). We wish to thank her for her outstanding leadership and constant encouragement to staff and students alike, to be their very best. Mrs. Rember has instituted the following programs during her tenure: After School Program, AP classes: US History, Cornposition and Language, Literature and Composition, Statistics, RAISE Reading Apprenticeship Program, STAR Sportsmanship Program for athletics, and E2020, just to name a few. She has written several grants which have benefited the District and PHS/PMS. For the past three years, one of her grants fully funded the Golf program along with all transportation for BVHS, EHS, and PHS. That grant ended, so Golf will not be in the schedule unless another principal writes a new grant. That grant totaling $105, 000 has funded the After School Program at PHS/PMS for the past three years which funded classes, clubs, transportation, and treats for students who remained at school from 3-5 pm three days a week. This grant aided in providing our students with Tutoring, Drama, Photography Some people like my advice so much that they frame it upon the wall instead of using it. Gordon R.

Many students have benefited from these additional classes. Mrs. Rember has also been assigned the following District Office duties without additional compensation: Curriculum Director, Professional Development Director, Sexual Harassment Hearing Officer, Homeland Security Officer, Lane Change Committee Chair, GPASS Evaluator, Mentor to new principals, Secretary/Treasurer for Region XX, and Utah High School Activities Executive Committee Representative, in addition to her regular duties as Principal of PHS. As you can see, she has been an indispensable and integral part of Garfield County School District not to mention her amazing work with the students at PHS. Mrs. Rember was reassigned to Escalante High School as their part-time principal in the June 21 School Board Meeting. This move by the Garfield County School Board Multimedia stunned and deeply saddened everyone and as a result, the students and staff will not get an opportunity to thank her for her dedication, love, and support she has provided. We are saddened and so very heartbroken to have her leave our high school. We want her to know that she did, indeed, make a huge difference in the lives of staff and students. Thank you Mrs. Rember for all you have done for us, but mostly for your example of excellence, compassion and professionalism. You cannot be replaced and your absence will be a significant and tragic loss to the Panguitch schools and the community of Panguitch. You are and always will be a Panguitch Bobcat. We wish you good luck and please never forget the people who truly admire your integrity and educational leadership. Good luck to you. Our thoughts and prayers go with you.
