                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. LLOYD SMUCKER

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 24, 2025

  Mr. SMUCKER. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to honor and congratulate Dr. 
Beth Haldeman on her retirement after 25 years with Cocalico School 
District.
  Dr. Beth Haldeman's history with Cocalico School District, located in 
northern Lancaster County, began in 2000 as the reading specialist and 
principal at the former Schoeneck Elementary School. She served in a 
similar capacity when she became principal of Denver Elementary in 2002 
and then principal at Reamstown Elementary in 2008. In 2019, Dr. 
Haldeman joined the district administration as assistant superintendent 
for curriculum and instruction. In this crucial and wide-ranging role, 
she oversaw state and local assessments, library services, professional 
development, special services, and academic supports.
  Though she will be greatly missed by the Cocalico School District, 
Dr. Haldeman's experience and contributions to education will be 
utilized in her new role as the director of professional development 
for the Pennsylvania Principals Association, where she will be training 
future principals across Pennsylvania.
  Dr. Beth Haldeman's contributions to the Cocalico School District 
have left a lasting impact on both the school district and 
Pennsylvania's 11th Congressional District, which has no shortage of 
selfless educators.
  I thank Dr. Haldeman for her service and wish her all the best in her 
new career.
