Retirements

Mrs. Kathy Vanderpool - 21 Years (2001-2022)

Kathy officially started working for Crestview in January 2001 where she was hired as evening cleaning personnel; however, she also substituted for the schools beginning in 2000.  Kathy retired at the end of December 2022.

Kathy is blessed with one daughter, Krystal, who is a 2002 Crestview graduate and now works at Crestview Middle School as the library media aide.  She also has two grandchildren:  Keith, sophomore, and Kathryn, freshman, that currently attend Crestview schools.

Kathy states some of her favorite memories are all of the friendships that I had, summer cleaning with Cherie Free and all of the other teachers that I suckered into cleaning!  Also, the time that Amy Bays actually thought we were putting up a shower curtain for the door on the staff restroom!

Her retirement plans include going to her grandchildren’s sporting events and activities, spending time with family, friends and traveling.

Thank you, Kathy, for your dedication and service to the students and staff at Crestview Local School District.  We have missed you and wish you a restful and fulfilled retirement.

Deb Squires  - 26 Years (1997-2023)

Deb started working for Crestview in 1997 where she began as a bus driver in the transportation department.  

Deb is blessed with one son, Nathan Milligan, and three daughters:  Jessica Gribben, Katie Carns, Samantha Klupp.  She has fourteen grandchildren: (six girls) Kat, Eva, Macy, Raya, Tilly and Aylin and (eight boys) Tyler, Colin, Dillon, Jacob, Henry, Arda, Owen and Carson.

When asked what imprint she will leave at Crestview she mentioned, “I hope it was a good one, I have strived to do my best, safely while managing a big bus with lots of kiddos.  They have left their imprint on my heart.  All of the various personalities I have had the privilege of knowing and interacting with over the years are precious memories to see me into my old age!  I will miss them and my coworkers!  This school and all of the people I have met here will be remembered and prayed for as often as they come to mind!”

Deb’s retirement plans include spending as much time as possible with my remaining siblings, my wonderful hubby, Jon, and precious children and grandchildren.

Thank you, Deb, for your dedication and service to the students and staff at Crestview Local School District.  You will be missed among the transportation staff next year.  We wish you a restful and fulfilled retirement!
