GJSD Board Recognized

The Pennsylvania School Board Association is recognizing Greater Johnstown School Board directors for “donating time and talents for the betterment of public education” in the community.

The awards were a highlight of School Director Recognition Month in January. Those honored and their years of volunteer service as of the date of the end of their current term are: Raymond Arcurio, 19 years; Vincent Arcurio, 8 years; John Berzinsky, 12 years; Thomas Dadey, 4 years; Edward J. Mikesic, 12 years; Kimberly Murray, 8 years; Eugene Pentz, 8 years; Daniel Tomak, 4 years, and Richard Unger, 12 years.

Board President Richard Unger stated that he and his fellow directors were honored when Superintendent Dr. Barbara Parkins presented each of the members with a plaque at the January Board Meeting. “I am truly proud of the work that we have accomplished together. Our schools continue to make strides toward academic excellence, and we have been able to accomplish many great things without burdening property owners with a tax increase,” stated Unger.
