He stepped into the role of school board member during a challenging time, and led with an unwavering commitment to doing what was best for students and staff.

We had a special visitor at Concord High today. Division Chief David Cushwa of the Elkhart City Fire Department came to present a distinguished service award to one of teachers and band directors Mr Bryan Golden for his act of bravery.
A few weeks ago Mr Golden saw a house on fire and stop to inform the home owners. When no one answered the door, he proceeded to use a garden hose to help extinguish the fire while calling the fire department. After EFD arrived and extinguished the fire, the homer owners emerged from the house. They have trouble hearing and didn’t even realize they were in danger.
Thank you, Bryan Golden, for this act of bravery and congratulations on this recognition! #ConcordPride

As we enjoy an extra long weekend, don't forget to encourage your child to pick up a book and read! Encouraging your child to read for 20-30 minutes per day -- either on their own or with you -- makes all the difference in developing their early literacy skills. And early literacy skills are one of the strongest indicators of a child's future success! #ConcordPride #ConcordReadsTogether
