After nearly 32 years in public education—including 10 successful and productive years at York Suburban—Dr. Patricia Maloney announced her retirement on Monday, July 17, 2017. Her commitment to the district’s mission of educating, challenging, and preparing students to shape the future, as well as her adaptability to the new challenges of a changing education landscape have ensured that York Suburban students still rank among the top in the state.
Before Dr. Maloney joined the YS community, she had already garnered a wealth of experience in education. Beginning as a special education teacher with the Lincoln Intermediate Unit 13, she went on to fulfill varied roles such as guidance counselor, Assistant Principal, Director of Pupil Services, and Assistant Superintendent for elementary and secondary institutions. Her well-rounded career comes to a close now as the York Suburban Assistant Superintendent.
Though it is with mixed emotions that Dr. Maloney makes this transition, she is looking forward to new challenges and opportunities. She wishes to express her gratitude for the experiences and relationships she’s cultivated over the last 10 years as an integral part of the YS community.
We at YS would also like to express our gratitude. To Dr. Maloney, thank you for your dedication, passion, sense of humor, skill, and outstanding contributions to the school community that will certainly be felt for many years to come.
