Please join us in thanking Joey Easley for her many years of dedication to the Rochester School District. From the classroom to her role as an Intervention Specialist at both RPS and GMES, Joey has spent well over a decade making a difference in the lives of our students and families.
Her care, commitment, and steady presence have helped shape a strong foundation for so many learners. As she moves on to a new chapter, we want to express our deepest appreciation for her time, talent, and heart.
Joey, your impact in Rochester will not be forgotten. We wish you all the best in the journey ahead!
#ThankYouJoey #OnceAWarriorAlwaysAWarrior


After 19 years of creating harmony in our schools, Francie Ishler is moving on to a new adventure. From her time in the classroom to leading the way as our beloved music teacher, Francie has left an unforgettable mark on Rochester.
She’s inspired students to find their voice, helped them hit the right notes, and brought rhythm and joy to countless school days. Her passion for teaching and love for music struck a chord with everyone lucky enough to learn from or work alongside her.
As she turns the page to a new chapter, we want to thank Francie for the melody she’s added to our district. You’ll be deeply missed—but your song will echo through our halls for years to come.

Our RPS Warriors had so much fun at yesterday’s Aloha-themed recess!

Mahalo to everyone who helped make it such a special day!
