During the recent Parkrose School District meeting, the board took a moment to honor Angie Lozano, a dedicated educator who has devoted 24 years to the district and its students. Although she was unable to attend due to a prior commitment, her contributions were celebrated with heartfelt words from colleagues and board members.

Angie has been a significant presence at Parkrose Middle School, serving as a sixth and eighth-grade humanities teacher. Her commitment to literacy and her students has made her classroom a nurturing environment where students felt valued and supported. Beyond her teaching role, Angie has also been instrumental as a Professional Learning Community (PLC) leader, helping to shape the curriculum and enhance the educational experience for her peers and students alike.

The board expressed deep gratitude for Angie’s unwavering dedication, noting that her absence will be profoundly felt within the school community. As a token of appreciation, Angie was presented with a rose, symbolizing the growth and impact she has had on the lives of her students and colleagues.

In her brief remarks, Angie reflected on the support she received from the Parkrose community during challenging times in her personal life. She expressed her gratitude for the opportunities she had as a teacher and the lessons she learned throughout her career.

As Angie embarks on her retirement, the board and community wish her a fulfilling new chapter, recognizing the lasting legacy she leaves behind in the Parkrose School District.
