Accepting Kudos is something that I’m working on. I was taught as a leader to accept blame and share successes. Moving on from my current position to somewhere new, I’ve received some positive feedback.

One always wants to make a difference in a positive way. I believe that I have made a difference. I’m going to share some of the feedback that I’ve received below. I am truly blessed to have worked with a wide variety of really great people.

I saw the title come in my email but didn’t read it at the time. I went back and read it when I saw the posting. Such a great walk down memory lane.

Truly your impact has been HUGE at all levels of DPS.

I’m getting teary eyed thinking about it. ?

Thank you so much for being the guide during this storm! I read your article! I think that my 6 years here at Fordson High have helped my students and me and continue to excel in this technological world. Keep cruising and keep making a difference!! If you ever need testimony my classroom is always open!

Congratulations on your retirement! I’ve always appreciated the perspective you’ve brought in Technology and in MISTAR discussions.

Seeing the post makes me sad. I am happy for you and hope you enjoy your new adventure. It has been a pleasure working with you. I know you’re still around but want to reach out. Thanks Troy for all your did for the River Oaks community and the district.

Congratulations. Thank you for pushing us forward and graciously managing the growing pains. Well done, well deserved.

I am so selfishly sad for us and me…….can’t imagine you not being with us but so happy for you. This year has to have felt like 10 years for you. You deserve to slow your pace down and enjoy your girls. Can’t imagine who could ever fill your shoes.

Congratulations Troy! It has been great working with you and wishing you the best going forward!

From Twitter:

Just a quick note to say congratulations on your retirement and good luck in your future endeavors.

You were a great person to work with.

Many of you have gotten to know Troy from Dearborn. He has been a regular contributor to the ITL meetings. I am grateful for the 10+ years of his involvement with ITL where he challenged us to be better, pushed for inter-district collaboration, and always advocated for effective use of technology rather than chasing “shiny tools”. His contributions to Dearborn Public Schools and Wayne County are immeasurable.
