Yes, we are sad to say, it is true....Mr. Wadzeck is retiring. A retirement party was held for Mr. Wadzeck last Monday, June 29th. A huge turn out of teachers and school board members came to honor Mr. Wadzeck's fourteen years of service to Devers. He will be missed greatly !!! We all hope his retirement will be filled with much happiness and activities....he will have more time to play with his grandkids !! Larry's wife, Caroline, also retired this year, so now the two of them can travel and enjoy a care-free life.
Cody Abshier will be our Superintendent and Principal. After his fantastic first year as Principal, we feel sure he will do well in his new position.
Congratulations, Mr. Abshier!!
Again,.... thank you Mr. Wadzeck.

ATTENTION AND CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL DEVERS TIGERS!!!!!
After visiting with performance-reporting specialists at the Texas Education Agency, we feel that it is very likely that both Devers Elementary and Devers Jr. High will be rated as Exemplary for the 2008 -2009 school year. Even if we barely miss Exemplary and are rated as Recognized, this is a huge accomplishment of which everyone should be proud. The state will release its preliminary campus and district ratings on July 14th, and we will be sure to share that information with you as soon as it becomes available to us.
