The Alamance-Burlington School System family recently gathered to extend its deepest gratitude, admiration, and warmest wishes to our 2025-2026 retirees. This extraordinary group of educators, administrators, and support staff members has committed decades of hard work, passion, and care to shaping the future of Alamance County.
Together, this year’s retiring class represents an astonishing 1,659.61 combined years of dedicated service to our children, schools, and community.
To our retirees: You have left an indelible mark on thousands of lives. As you turn the page to this next exciting chapter, may all your years ahead be filled with the rich rewards of good health, vibrant joy, and continued success.
