After 45 years in education including the last nine as the Southern Door School District Superintendent, Patti Vickman is retiring. The Southern Door Board of Education accepted her retirement during Monday’s meeting. Vickman will end where it all began after graduating from Southern Door in 1972. During the last nine years, she has guided the district through several referendums and building improvement projects. The district has also introduced a number of different programs to help students become ready for the real world after graduation. Ending her tenure during a pandemic is bittersweet for Vickman, but she is happy with everything she has been able to help accomplish during her time as superintendent.

Vickman’s retirement is effective June 30th, 2021. Vickman’s road through education took her to three different states and several districts and private schools.
