The retiring class of 2023 has given an impressive 550 years of combined service to the students and families of Westminster Public Schools. Join us in celebrating this next step in their lives at the annual Retirement Celebration on Wednesday, May 17 from 4 to 6 p.m. in the Westminster High School Café.

Chartwells will cater the event and we’ll hear from the high school’s Jazz Band. Each retiree will receive a personalized scrapbook, crystal globe and a bouqet of flowers. All are invited to attend to wish their colleagues and peers well in their retirement.
