"I have been in the Davenport Community Schools since 1988. In the 15 years that I have worked for the school system, I have learned so much about education. Many of the teachers that I have had the awesome pleasure of working with provide not only the work ethic, but also the skills I needed to succeed. Custodians, Paraeducators, Food Service, Administrators, Security, and Maintenance have helped to foster a good work ethic. The experience of working with all groups has given me a much broader perspective of the job as a whole. I am part of the we that helps Davenport Schools' staff and students succeed with pride." - Phyllis Thede, LMC Secretary, North High School
