Biography Cheryl Wilcox Patrick, married with 2 grown children, and one 7 yr old granddaughter. I am a lifelong resident of our district. I have always been community minded, willing to help our communities my entire life. From being very involved in Delta County 4 -H , working with my family in their local family restaurant. I have volunteered for many years with the local ambulance service. I have recently retired from OSF hospital emergency department. I also carry and cosmetology license which I received while I was a student at Rock High School through vocational education program.
Education Rock High School 1977, Cosmetology State of MI. license 1977- present, Emergency Medical Tech license 1993 - present.
I have always felt a strong desire to help others. I have been involved in our communities since I was a child. I have brought years of experience to the Board of Education. I would look forward to working closely on the important issues going forward.
Providing a trained and educated staff to assure a safe and secure learning environment. Continuing the work with dual enrolment, online classes and virtual learning. Helping meet our student needs. I believe having sports program can give our students discipline and responsibility along with memories that will last a lifetime.
Meeting the high standards of the state of Michigan required curriculum. The fluctuation in student count is always a factor when decisions are being made.
My vision is to help Mid Peninsula grow. I am proud of the work we have done supporting teachers and staff. I think it is also important to keep up with the preventive maintenance of the school and property. Assuring the building is here for future generation.
Safety and quality education would be the utmost of importance. I have worked with budget cuts many times over the past years. Students and their families will always be top priority.
