Thank you Mr. Bosse and Ms. Lofton

Working with two amazing leaders like retiring Principals Chris Bosse and Vicki Lofton has been an incredible experience that has enriched my understanding of education and leadership. Today, as I witnessed the retirement celebrations for both principals, I couldn’t help but reflect on the profound impact they have had on the schools they led and the individuals they inspired.

My journey with Mr. Bosse began over 14 years ago when he joined Central Ridge Elementary (CRE) as the Assistant Principal, where both my children were students. From there, he went on to become the principal of Homosassa Elementary and Hernando Elementary before returning to CRE for the past three years. Mr. Bosse’s dedication to his students and staff is unwavering, and his servant-leadership approach has been truly inspirational. As he bid farewell to the school for the last time, the love and tears from the students reflected the profound impact he had on their lives.

Ms. Lofton’s leadership journey has been remarkable. I first met her over a decade ago when she was an assistant principal at Floral City Elementary. She later became the Assistant Principal at CRE, coinciding with Mr. Bosse’s promotion. After that, she took on the role of principal at Lecanto Primary School (LPS) where she has served for the last 11 years. Teachers and staff at LPS praised her for fostering their professional growth and creating a supportive environment. Her commitment and passion have left an indelible mark on the students and school community.

Together, Chris Bosse and Vicki Lofton have exemplified what it means to be exceptional leaders in education. Their deep care for students and staff, combined with their relentless commitment to excellence, have elevated the quality of education in Citrus County Schools. Personally, I have grown as a board member through their guidance and example.

As we bid farewell to these extraordinary leaders, we express our gratitude for their remarkable contributions. Chris and Vicki, you will be dearly missed, but your legacy will continue to inspire and shape the future of education in our community. Thank you for your unwavering dedication and service.
