This month, we encourage all community members to thank a board member.  School boards are charged with making decisions that can sometimes be quite difficult or require sifting through a great deal of information. They contribute hundreds of hours each year while leading our West Branch-Rose City Area School District.

School board members are individuals who approach their volunteer work with the same dedication as a full-time job, and with extraordinary commitment to public schools. Their decisions affect our children and build our community.

Through their dedication, collaboration with other school district staff, their governance, and advocacy, they are building the future of education in Michigan.

These are the men and women serving our West Branch-Rose City Area School District:

President Heather Kearns, 7 years of service
Vice-President Gary Miller, 7 years of service
Treasurer Dr. Alan Withers, 5 years of service
Secretary Debra Abraham, 3 years of service
Trustee Matt Biermann, 3 years of service
Trustee Scott Kartes, 11 years of service
Trustee Whitney Lehman, 1 year of service


Go Falcons!
