Grateful For The Journey
As I prepare to close this chapter in Royal Oak, I want to say thank you. Working in this district has been so much more than just a job—it's been a big part of my life, and that’s because of the incredible families and students I’ve had the chance to work with.
Whether we were side by side at events or meetings, or only crossed paths briefly, I’ve truly appreciated the collective support that made each day more meaningful. Royal Oak Schools is full of passionate, hardworking people who care deeply about students, and it’s been an honor to be part of that mission.
I’m looking forward to what’s next, but I’ll definitely miss the meaningful connections. Thank you for making this such a rewarding and memorable journey. I wish you all the very best.
- Mary Beth Fitzpatrick, Superintendent, Royal Oak Schools
