37 Years of Service GPS - Dr. Brad Barrett Retires - Wow

37 Years of Service GPS - Dr. Brad Barrett Retires - Wow - I Am Feeling Old...

You know you are getting older when the police officers and fighters can call you Mom! You know you are getting older when the teachers are looking like they barely graduated from high school. But you really know you are getting old when you catch up on the local news and learn that your childhood neighbor is retiring from 37 years of service of public education!

Dr. Bradley K. Barrett, Gilbert Public Schools Superintendent announced his retirement in November of 2007. Thursday, May 8, 2008 there will be a GPS career celebration in his honor at Highland High School Auditorium from 5:00 to 7:00 P.M.

Dr. Barrett probably doesn't remember me as the kid next door that was often called to babysit his children while he found time to take his lovely wife out for an evening. I'm not quite sure why it is that I remember him and his family so vividly but I do. We lived in Mesa at the time and I had just moved from the east coast to live with my Dad and their's was the first of the families my parents met and I became a regular in their home watching their young family. Great memories back then as a young lady making my way into the 'real' working world. I think back then I earned .75 cents an hour! I was big time then.

The community is invited to attend in honor of Dr. Barrett at the celebration which will include presentations from GPS students, District officials, and performances from GPS high school musical groups. Immediately following the program refreshments will be served in Highland High School Hawk Hall located at 4301 E. Guadulupe Road, Gilbert, AZ 85234.

Congratulations Dr. Barrett, your service has been well served, your integrity, passion for the students and staff has been stellar! May you enjoy your retirement and find yourself basking in the warm rays of the Arizona sunshine! Go Highland Hawks (Ok, So I have two graduates from Highland High School and one next year...).
