*Sunday 9/28/25, 1pm:  "The Path to Our New High School." At the Verona Senior Center, 108 Paoli St, Verona, WI.

This will be our next regular meeting, and our guests will be Dean Gorrell and Denny Beres.  Both are Verona history all-stars, having presented to us individually in the past (Dean about the 2014 Country View School tornado, and Denny about saving and restoring a cool old Verona house).  We are getting them together to form a "dream team" of two folks who were deeply involved in the massive changes our school district undertook in the 2010s.  We all remember the big referendum of April 2017, but the hard work actually started years before that and continued through the opening of the new high school (unfortunately during a pandemic) in 2020.  Dean and Denny will share some of their personal memories from that time.

Thinking back on Verona's four previous "new high schools," we would have loved to have had this opportunity to interview the folks who made those projects happen.  It will be a real treat to capture these firsthand stories this time around!
