Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness made a surprise appearance before the Hamilton Southeastern School Board Wednesday night to issue a proclamation for June 27, 2018, to be Mike Beresford Day in Fishers.
Dr. Beresford, an assistant superintendent at Hamilton Southeastern, has been hired by the Carmel-Clay School Corporation to serve as their superintendent as of July.
“It’s my understanding that one of our leaders of our school administration is taking the courage and the courageous act of taking a mission trip to the far land of the west, across the majestic White River,” joked the mayor. “We are confident he will meet several circular curves.”
When the mayor got serious, he cited the fact that he has known Mike Beresford for over a decade. “He has been part of the foundation of the relationship between the city and the schools,” Mayor Fadness said.
The school board, at the end of the meeting, gave Dr. Beresford three large street signs, one of Fishers High School, one of HSE High School and a final one bearing the educator’s name.
