EAST HELENA â After nearly two decades leading the East Helena School District, Superintendent Ron Whitmoyer is announcing plans to retire this summer.
âI love what I do; I love the kids in this school system; I love the people I work with,â he said. âThis is not an easy decision, but at some time, you have to say somebody else can do this â and do a better job than I can do.â
Whitmoyer has built a 37-year career with the district, starting as a math and science teacher in 1984. He became middle school principal in 1991, where he played a role in planning for the new East Valley Middle School building.
