This month WNIT would like to recognize Dr. John Hill. John is supporting member of WNIT and serves on the WNIT Community Advisory Council. The Council acts as community liaisons to WNIT, bringing ideas, perspectives and input to our production operations and community outreach. John recently retired after a 45 year career in education as a teacher, principal, administrator and adjunct college professor. John most recently served as assistant superintendent for instruction at Elkhart Community Schools. During John’s 13 years with Elkhart Community Schools, he saw graduation rates climb from 62 percent to 87.2 percent at Elkhart Central and 86.5 percent at Elkhart Memorial. Although he is moving on from his full time position, John will remain active as an education consultant working with Roosevelt STEAM Academy and in his role on the WNIT Community Advisory Council. We congratulate John on his retirement and thank him for setting a shining example of community involvement and giving back. Thank you John!
