Mrs. Charlene Simpson:

We are working on a way to honor Mrs. Charlene Simpson. She is retiring after this school year. Charlene has taught for over 43 years, 10 in public education and 33 in private education with 28 years being at Greater Portland Christian School. Charlene's children graduated from GPCS and 3 of her grandchildren have graduated from GPCS. The fourth one will graduate from GPCS in a couple of weeks.
