Next year is my last year with LSEM. I’m retiring – again! My wow story must be one about my experience working for LSEM and St. John, Midland. This opportunity ranks as one of the BEST opportunities I’ve had in my life!  

LSEM: wow, I have been blessed beyond my wildest dream with the support I have received from the staff at LSEM. Folks who are truly committed to Christ, education, and are really nice people to be around. I can’t thank you enough! I have received an incredible amount of encouragement from the office staff and the “folks in charge” who really want to support me so I can do Christ’s work bringing student’s and Christ together, while preparing them for their future. Thank You! 

St. John’s Midland: WOW and WOW! I have been in the field of education for a VERY long time. I know education. I retired from Midland Public Schools, taught at Alma College, SVSU and worked with the Michigan Department of Education. I have NEVER met a leader of a school like Brad Massey! Brad, the teachers at St. John’s, and the staff, are beyond exemplary. If you want to see how education should work, come to St. John’s! 

If I had worked at St. John’s prior to teaching in the public school, you would never get me to leave. Believe me, if my wife wasn’t harping on me to retire (she retired this year), I would stay forever. Thank you LSEM and St. John’s for the wonderful opportunity – Thank you Lord for opening that door for me.
