We are excited to express our heartfelt gratitude and admiration to all of our esteemed colleagues retiring this year. Our incredible journey here at Austin Independent School District is continually shaped and driven by the dedicated people who serve our district, students, and community.

We wish each of you joy, relaxation, and fulfillment in your well-deserved retirement. Your extraordinary service will always be remembered, and we know your influence will continue to be felt for many generations to come.
Congratulations on your retirement! This is your time to celebrate the wonderful career you've had with us, and we are delighted to celebrate with you.
