We recently gathered for our End-of-Year Staff BBQ to celebrate another great school year and recognize four outstanding retirees who have made a lasting impact on Potlatch School District.

This year, we honor Doug Richards (High School Principal), Yvette Pfaff (3rd Grade Teacher), Ryan Ball (Science Teacher/Coach), and Jeff Nitcy (Math Teacher, not pictured).

Together, these retirees have dedicated an incredible 126 years to education, making a lasting impact on countless students throughout their careers. We are grateful for the time, knowledge, and care they shared with our school community. While we will miss seeing them in our hallways and classrooms, we are grateful for their years of commitment and wish them all the best in this exciting next chapter.

Thank you for everything you've done for Potlatch School District!
