Thank you, 2022 Girls State Delegate Molly Malek a rising senior from Lecanto High School and Academy of Environmental Science, for interviewing me as her local elected leader in preparation for the 75th Session Florida Girls State on June 7 thru June 15, 2022, in Tallahassee, Florida.
Miss Malek is one of the local Girls selected by the American Legion Auxiliary to represent Citrus County. After graduating high school Miss Malek is interested in continuing her education in political science and/or environmental science.
I have had the great privilege of knowing Miss Malek since she was in elementary school. I have had the honor of coaching her in swimming as a young person and have loved watching her grow as a student and person.
I have done a number of these interviews over the years, and it always impresses me how informed and concerned our students are with their world and community. Miss Malek is going to go on and do amazing things and Citrus County will once again be proud of the successful students they support and cheer.
Thank you, American Legion Auxiliary, for providing this great Girls State opportunity.

Today we honored two remarkable young ladies who graduated from their respective base high schools but returned to also graduate from the Citrus County Pace Center for Girls. I was honored to join the other Citrus County School District leaders as we celebrated these ladies.
Congratulations to Brianna and Gia! We wish you the very best! Thank you to all the educators, mentors, counselors and community partners that support and cheer all our Pace Girls! As the Pace family says, “Once a Pace Girl, always a Pace girl”!

Many wonderful retirement celebrations have continued this week which is the custom for this time of year. One of those I attended today was for two wonderful educators from Citrus Springs Elementary School. Donna Scott and The Queen of Speech, Shauna Parrish. Collectively they have provided over 50 years of service to thousands of students. They both cared for my children in elementary school. I am so grateful to them for their impact on our school and school district. God Bless you in retirement, and God Bless and thank you to all our retirees!
