Does anyone know if this is the same person that worked for the school for so many years? I know the name but I can't remember if it was Hiram Ele. or the Jr. High or High School. I am thinking Hiram Ele. It has been many years since I attended there but I know the name.

His wife, Jean Roberts, was the secretary at Hiram Elementary for many years. She retired from there in the early 90's if my memory serves me correctly. Both of my kids attended school there -the youngest is now 22 - and Mrs. Roberts retired when she was either in 4th or 5th grade. I'm so sorry to hear about this.

What's your child's name? I'm 22, and I also attended Hiram Elem. I believe Mrs. Roberts left the year I went to middle school. That's when Mrs. Brooks took over.

Hey KSUgal....my daughter's name is Ashley Howard. She also attends KSU. What's your name? Best I can remember, Jean Roberts retired and Pam Brooks became the school secretary the year Ashley was in 5th grade so you may be a year ahead of her. Small world...huh?
