After 36 years in the district, Janelle Hess is saying adiós to Emmaus High School. A Spanish teacher who greatly impacted many students over the years, Hess loved watching her students grow and strengthen their knowledge of the Spanish language. Even though she is leaving teaching behind, she hopes her students never stop learning. In retirement, Hess will be moving to Rehoboth Beach. She plans to travel to various locations, including Matla and Disney.
