On Wednesday, January 27, 2016, the Tri-Village Rotary Club awarded Teresa Rill its' Staff Member of the Year Award for her outstanding service to the Grandview Heights Schools at the club's weekly breakfast meeting at The Ohio State Golf Course.  

 

The Rotary recognition is fitting for Mrs. Rill, an 18-year veteran of the disrtrict.  The Rotary Club's motto is Service Above Self.  "Learning is the constant and everyone and everything is a variable - and Teresa understands that and is a part of something that is bigger than self," said Superintendent Andy Culp.

 

"Teresa is the very embodiment of service above self.  Selecting her for this recognition was an easy choice.  She wears many varied and valuable hats in the Grandview Heights Schools as our EMIS Coordinator, Registrar, and assistant to the Facilities Director.  She is also a Grandview Heights parent.  She and her husband, Ron, a Grandview Heights High School graduate, raised their four children in the district as well."

 

More about this award:  In 1905, Paul Harris organized a community service organization that has grown to be today's modern Rotary International.  In building Rotary, Mr. Harris focused on the vocational calling of members and how those members could effectively serve others with dignity and integrity. Rotarians are committed to encouraging and fostering high ethical standards in all vocations.  The Tri-Village Rotary Club annually honors two individuals, one from Grandview Heights Schools and one from Upper Arlington Schools, who represent dignity and integrity through their positions in their schools.
