Tuesday, July 23 we held a rededication ceremony for Portia Johnson Drive. Portia Johnson Drive originally ended at the intersection near the old baseball field. When we were working to build our new administration buildings we were asked by the city of Duluth what we wanted the name of our road to be. We decided to extend Portia Johnson Drive all the way down to H. Courtney Drive. Her impact on the Duluth community was enormous and wanted to make sure we honored her by keeping and expanding the road named after her. In 2007, when it was proposed that Central High School be closed, Portia joked in an article by the Duluth News Tribune, that she hoped people would still see the sign with her name on it once the school closed. And we just want Portia and her family to know that her name will continue on in many ways, including the very road our offices are built. We are deeply honored that our school district office address is 709 Portia Johnson Drive.
Communications Officer Adelle Wellens, Superintendent John Magas, Business Services Coordinator Brett Mensing and Executive Assistant Patty Paquette will be presenting at the National School Public Relations Association (NSPRA) national seminar in July. They will demonstrate the strategies and tactics we used to inform our community, families and staff about the importance of the referendums, including digital advertising, informational tables, public meetings and more.
