East Ramapo Tenure and Retirement Recognition Ceremony
An evening of gratitude and celebration honored 128 East Ramapo employees during the annual Tenure and Retirement Recognition Celebration held June 16 prior to the Board of Education meeting. Among those recognized were 86 staff members achieving tenure and 42 retirees whose careers have helped shape our schools and community.

We are deeply grateful to our retirees for their years of service and congratulate our tenured employees as they continue their professional journey in support of East Ramapo students.
