Meet The Dukes

This year, we will recognize one staff member each week at Reagan Middle School who exemplifies the values of Dixon Public Schools with our "Spirit Stick" award. Our first recipient is Mrs. Zimmerman, Building Secretary at Reagan Middle School. With many years of dedicated service, she consistently models the qualities we value most in our staff. She is the first to arrive and the last to leave, always ensuring that students, families, and staff are supported. Mrs. Zimmerman goes above and beyond to welcome and register new students and families, making them feel at home from the moment they walk through our doors. She also takes time to assist staff, continually putting the needs of others before her own. Her dedication, supportive nature, and commitment to doing what’s best for everyone make her the perfect choice to receive this recognition! Congratulations, Mrs. Zimmerman, we appreciate you!!!
