Beverly Gans Marks 60 Years & Counting in the Pittsfield Schools
By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The Pittsfield Public Schools recognized Beverly Gans for her 60 years of service with the district with a lunch and crystal plaque on Friday. Gans will mark 40 years as secretary to principal at Taconic High School in June.
"It's been a wonderful experience, and I wouldn't trade it … I've seen generations go through," she said. "I've seen kids go through, I've seen their kids go through, I've seen their grandkids go through … it's just been a wonderful life for me to have this,"
Her former students will come back to the school surprised to see the secretary they connected with years prior.
The students, staff, and administration are what make this school great, she said.
"I bleed green and gold," Grans said. Last year on her 77th birthday, the faculty bought her green and gold Nike sneakers that she wears every Friday.
She has become a pillar of the district over the last six decades, so much so that even district leaders look up to her.
"Most people come to me for anything and everything, even in the district. I mean, there's so many new people. I mean, most of the secretaries today, I don't even know them," Gans said.
