Please help us celebrate our September RIROE High School Employee of the Month, Kristi Workman! Kristi is an integral part of the Rockridge High School staff, serving as the Account Specialist and Athletic Department Administrative Assistant. She first joined the Rockridge Community School District in 2011 and has worked in various roles over the years, including paraprofessional at Illinois City, secretary at Andalusia, secretary at the high school, and secretary at the junior high.
Her commitment to Rockridge goes above and beyond her main duties. She's currently a bus driver, takes tickets at our athletic events, and manages scorekeeping for volleyball. She also mentors new staff in the main office, and new district administrators on account procedures and processes. She is the go-to person for practically all things Rockridge. We cannot thank Kristi enough for the tireless hours she gives to this school community. Kristi truly has a “heart of maroon.” Congratulations, Kristi!
