Congratulations to Kris Murphy as she prepares for a well-deserved retirement after 20 years of service to St. Clair County RESA. Kris is truly one of our #WeAreSCCRESA rockstars. Throughout her two decades with RESA, and most recently as Executive Administrative Assistant to the Superintendent, she has brought exceptional dedication, professionalism, kindness, and care to everything she does. Her steady presence, commitment to our organization, and support of the people around her have made a difference in more ways than we can count.

Her dedication, professionalism, and diligence have made a lasting impact on our organization and community. We are grateful for her many contributions and wish her all the best in retirement!

We are incredibly grateful for all that Kris has given to RESA over the years, and while we are excited about all that retirement has in store for her, we are certainly going to miss her! Please help us celebrate Kris in the comments below and wish her the best.

A BIG thank you to our IT Department summer interns! In addition to handling everyday support needs, they helped tackle some unexpected challenges. From setting up satellite workstations for staff temporarily relocated during construction at our Administration Building to helping our IT team navigate a significant outage, they brought flexibility, dedication, and an eagerness to help whenever needed.

We're grateful for all of their hard work and contributions this summer. Thank you for being a valuable part of the #WeAreSCCRESA team!
