JVS Presented Proclamation

In celebration of the Upper Valley JVS’s 35th anniversary, Representative Richard N. Adams, initiated a proclamation by the Ohio House of Representatives. Dr. Adams made the presentation at the 2010 Distinguished Alumni recognition program held at the school on February 18. He served as the district’s first superintendent until his retirement in 1980.

The Proclamation reads as follows:

Under the Sponsorship of Representative Richard N. Adams, House District 79

On behalf of the members of the House of Representatives of the 128th General Assembly of Ohio, we are pleased to congratulate the UPPER VALLEY JOINT VOCATIONAL SCHOOL on its Thirty-fifth Anniversary.

Recognition of this prestigious milestone is a fitting tribute to the Upper Valley Joint Vocational School, for since its inception in 1975, it has played a vital role in preparing countless people to meet the challenges of the future. Committed to providing an excellent career and technical education, the school's faculty and administrators have given willingly of their time, energy, and abilities far beyond what was required or expected, and we are certain that in the years to come, these fine educators will continue to help students become capable, well-rounded individuals.

Education is vital to our nation's economic and social well-being, and as the need for global learning and understanding increases, so do the demands placed upon our system of education. Over the years, the Upper Valley Joint Vocational School has consistently and effectively met these demands, and as they take part in this anniversary celebration, its students, staff, and alumni can be justly proud of this fine institution.

Thus, with great pleasure, we commend the Upper Valley Joint Vocational School on its Thirty-fifth Anniversary and extend best wishes for ongoing success.
