The graduating Class of 2025 represents more than just academic achievement - they represent the evolving landscape of what it means to be future-ready.
Take a look at this post from FHS Principal JoLynn Clark.
Like our other FSD staff members, Susan Maki played a big role in helping our grads earn their diplomas.
Unlike most of our staff, however, Susan and her entire family had the honor of celebrating the graduation of her daughter Emma, a proud member of the FHS Class of 2025.
After 25 years at EFR Middle School as an English Language Arts teacher Susan Maki will be retiring as an Eagle to move to Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and live among the Demon Deacons.
In July 2024, her husband Brad Maki - who for years had commuted from Frankenmuth to work in the University of Michigan's Registrar's Office in Ann Arbor - decided to ditch the three-hour-per-day commute by accepting a position with the Registrar's Office at Wake Forest University.
They agreed Susan should remain in Frankenmuth for the 2024-2025 academic year so their daughter Emma could graduate from Frankenmuth High School, as did her brother Aiden in 2023.
"We have loved and appreciated the strong sense of community in Frankenmuth," Susan said. "I've always had the feeling that the community was watching over my kids and supporting our family. That's just the way people are here. It's not easy to leave a place where you feel that supported."
Thank you, Susan, for your dedication, passion for teaching excellence, and longtime service to the students and families of FSD.
This is the perfect time to reach out to any of the FSD staff members you know and give them a well-deserved pat on the back.
"The level of commitment our FSD staff has to the students and families in the Frankenmuth community is second to none," said Superintendent Grant Hegenauer. "I've seen how our staff always seeks ways to improve, to make great even greater."
Whatever challenges or issues are on the table, our fantastic FSD staff members always choose to put our kids first.
It's the Eagles' way.
THANK YOU!
Throughout the 2022-23 School Year, our district developed a new Strategic Plan to keep FSD's educational mission moving forward, both now and well into future school years.
The mission as defined in our Strategic Plan is clear: ... to provide each student, to the fullest extent possible, a fund of knowledge, skills, positive attitudes, and ethical values with which to understand the world, gain productive employment, and successfully manage the change the future will bring.
The process we used three years ago for developing this plan included asking for input from students, staff, parents, and our community, and then facilitating collaborative sessions with representatives of these groups, the Board of Education, and our Strategic Planning Leadership Team.
Since then, we have maintained ongoing, informal reviews to benchmark our progress toward the goals in our Strategic Plan - and now it is time to ask YOU for your input once again.
Your opinion will not only help us keep our current Strategic Plan on track, it will also guide the new revisions which will anchor our work over the next 3-5 years.
Please take a few minutes to complete this survey by March 3.
This will help FSD stay on the path of Educational Excellence.
Thank you!
