The public is invited to attend a reception celebrating the retirement of Dr. Chris Sullens as superintendent of the Kewanee School District.
Sullens began his career in education as the industrial arts teacher at Galva High School in 1986, a job he held for 12 years. In 1998 he became principal at Neponset High School; he moved to the grade school the next year, when Neponset High was deactivated. Two years later Sullens became principal and superintendent at Neponset, and in 2006 he became superintendent of both Kewanee and Neponset. In 2011, Neponset was annexed to the Kewanee district and Sullens remained as Kewanee superintendent.
The reception honoring his career and celebrating his retirement will take place at Cerno’s Bar & Grill on Saturday, June 15 from 2 to 6 p.m. Remarks will be made at 3 p.m.
The event is sponsored by the Kewanee Schools Foundation and in lieu of gifts, Dr. Sullens is asking for support of the Kewanee Schools Care Closet Fund.
Appetizers and cake will be served.
