Congratulations to our 2022 Award Recipient
Ms. Callie Langohr
Our 2022 award recipient was Callie Langohr, Assistant Superintendent because she is responsible for only so many things at our school but also in our language program. She has been supportive of world languages and the pursuit of global citizenry since Glacier opened. Without her support, we all would not be sitting here today. In fact, her support goes beyond the halls of Glacier all the way to around the world. This individual has willingly traveled abroad with almost 100 Glacier students to 10 different countries over the years. She chooses each year to spend her precious time during the summer traveling on hot buses, counting students to make sure they’re there, and doing an infinite number of passport checks. She is an incredible advocate for language learning in our valley and is proof that one administrator can truly change the world. She has forever changed all of ours.
