Greenville Independent School District (GISD) has released a statement expressing profound sadness over the passing of two beloved members of its Transportation Department, Donald "Don" Ward and Michael "Mike" Wallace, during the recent fall break.
Don and Mike were more than just employees; they were often the first smiling faces students encountered in the morning and the last ones they saw in the afternoon. Their unique ways of spreading joy and offering comfort had a lasting impact on countless students.
Both proud graduates of Greenville High School, Don Ward dedicated over 35 years to Greenville ISD, while Mike Wallace served the district for the last six years. Their passion for their students and commitment to the community were evident in everything they did.
The warmth and dedication exhibited by Don and Mike will be remembered by all who knew them, and their legacy will continue to resonate within the GISD community. "The heart of a lion lives on forever."
