Today, March 15th, 2022, Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks (IA-02) spoke on the floor of the House of Representatives to recognize Ottumwa’s Mark Hanson.
Mdm. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the service of an amazing educator in my district.
Earlier this year, Ottumwa High School announced that long-time principal Mark Hanson would be retiring.
Mark originally served as Ottumwa’s principal from 2010-2017 but returned to the high school as principal this past July.
Throughout his time at OHS, Mark was a true leader and visionary. He worked tirelessly to improve graduation rates, improve the school’s culture and curriculum, and increase opportunities for students to participate in extracurricular activities.
Before coming back to OHS, Mark remained active in the community, coaching basketball and tennis.
Following Mark’s retirement, Shelley Bramschreiber will become the new principal. Shelley has been with Ottumwa Schools since 1994. On July 1st of this year, Shelley will become the first female principal in school history.
Thank you to Mark for his decades of service to our community, and best of luck to you Shelley!
Go Bulldogs!
Thank you, I yield back my time.
