Serving on the Troy Board of Education for 22 years, trustee and current secretary Gary Hauff was presented with the Michigan Associatio­n of School Boards’ highest honor – the President’s Award.

“This award is only given to the very best of the best, and Gary Hauff is most certainly the best,” said Don Wotruba, president of the Michigan Associatio­n of School Boards.

During Hauff’s tenure on the Board, he completed 29 advanced classes and 1,383 education credits, and he said he’s proud of the work he’s done with his fellow trustees.

“The Troy community is fortunate to have Board members who are so committed to the concept of life-long learning and positive policy making,” said Troy School District Superinten­dent Dr. Rich Machesky.

Hauff’s achievemen­t was recognized at Troy School District’s October School Board meeting.

“It’s really all about the students,” Hauff said. “You have to build upon relationsh­ips with other trustees both from Troy and other districts to maintain the current trends in education in order to provide the best possible learning environmen­t for the kids.”
