Mrs. Seacord Retires

Secretary Retires

June 5, 2012 • Angelique Santiago and Elizabeth Granda  

Filed under PHS People,

As this 2011 to 2012 school year comes to an end, we are not just saying good bye to our seniors, we will also be saying goodbye to Judy Seacord. Mrs. Secord has been working as a secretary for Peekskill High School for the past 10 years and 1 month (to be exact).Before Mrs. Seacord worked for Peekskill High School, she worked at the Westchester County Parks Department.

Mrs. Seacord explains that she is sad, but is happy as well, to be leaving PHS. She is happy because she is starting a new phase in her life and will be able to spend more time with her grandchildren and her husband. Mrs. Seacord told us in her interview that she is sad because she is leaving the kids of PHS behind.  As of right now, Mrs. Seacord has no set plans for after she retires.

As all the students who listen to the school announcements  know; whether it is the morning, afternoon, or inbetween announcements, Mrs. Seacord can always be heard laughing! As we end the school year, PHS students are still confused, as to why this is the case. Mrs. Seacord would like us all to know that there is simply, always something funny said in the office just before she starts the  announcements.

Mrs. Seacord, from all of us here at PHS, we wish happy trails to you and thank you for your dedication and hard work over the past 10 years and 1 month.

Wonderful lady !! So sweet and Kind. When my son was in PHS if I ever had a question or concern she was right there to help me out and I felt that she truly cared for all the children there. When my son graduated and heard he was going into the Marines she cried for him and his safety. Still when I see her she ask's about him and I can see how proud she is of him and what he has accomplished. He accomplished things in his life because of people like HER people with caring, kind hearts. I hope the very best for her in her next adventure in life and hope that she continues to spread her kindness. :):):) I know those children will miss you like crazy!!

Thanks for the nice message, Dawn. I am sure it is nice for Mrs. Seacord to hear from happy and proud parents. I hope William is doing well!

By the way, in our new system we have an update that includes a community moderation tool—it'sRead More not only Patch editors who can flag comments. What is it? Readers can flag any content they find objectionable on any Patch site at any time. We’ve put the flagging link in more places to make it easier to find and backed it with more sophisticated tools. Our goal is to recognize and reward readers who make our community great. How does it work? You’ll see these words — Flag as Inappropriate — on the top and bottom of Board posts, articles, blogs and notes, and next to every single comment anywhere on the site. To flag something, you simply click those words. What happens when you flag? It alerts us that something might be up with the content. When should you flag? We ask that you use your common sense and a general spirit of openness. You should never flag things that you simply disagree with and certainly not to clarify minor points. We encourage you to comment, post (or even start your own blog) to be heard on those things. You can review the Patch Terms of Use Ashley referred to above.

I'm wondering if a comment made by Veton Sejdiu was deleted because it implies a threat againstRead More people. In his comment, he calls people "morons" and "fools" (nothing new here), but in a threatening way, he dares people to try to take guns away.

don't know why I'm having a problem getting this written............anyway...they are rude,Read More unhygenic and WILL NOT follow any of the condo rules....there's so much more but we are sick of it. There are only two of us that speak up...everyone else is cowering behind closed doors.

Unleashed dogs is getting to be a big problem in Peekskill. I see them routinely now. People areRead More letting their pit bulls out, their poodles, their chihuahuas - all kinds of dogs. Two days a go I watched a lady jogging on the track with her loose dog. The dog wasn't even supposed to be on the track no less loose. Some kid or elderly lady is going to get bit. Loose dogs also end up in more fights with other dogs.

Sue a sad fact that these days of “political correctness” individuals who exhibit rudeRead More and ignorant behavior are empowered by the rest of us. I know of a similar situation where the individuals will yell four letter words in the public areas with young children there, call others the foulest things, and in this case, they are black and gay so the race/gay card is used constantly. Until people make it known they are not going to tolerate their behavior it will not stop. Have you notified the property owner, complex board, and police, or maybe the board of health?

It was our pleasure to help out....good food, good weather, all around good time!!

@Nancy,,I Thanked both you and Pauline Ghilcrest for serving the community and they took my commentsRead More down twice!!! Once again Thank You..you're automatically signed up for next year..:)

It seems Patch moves editors every year. Liz was here when I signed up. Then she was shortly movedRead More to Rye and Rasheed took over. He must have been here about a year and then he left when the new format was introduced. Both times patch started cooking and then it got cut down just as new staff got their mojo going. A new editor with a new format seems like starting from scratch again. I know AOL/Patch needs to get some cash flow going quick (from what I've read) but I can't see what they are trying to do exactly by tipping the cart over and over

Agree Joshua just when you have a good thing going with an Editor they move. I can't figure thisRead More site out I was not allowed to post for at least a week thought Mary et al put an hex on me. Hey anyone know where Peter Goodson is??? I miss his posts.
jo June 18, 2013 at 10:12 am

Working Families Party endorsed candidate Mary Foster
Robin Seggs June 14, 2013 at 10:44 am
Working Families Party almost always cross endorses with Democrats. Looks like the choice isRead More getting clearer: One team is Democrat, WFP and Independent and the Catalina Team is Republican, Right-to-life, Conservative. Anyway, I believe Catalina is campaigning as anti-gay rights, so I know how I will be voting.
jo June 14, 2013 at 02:28 pm
and so many in the cast of characters that attend the meetings. believe Mary is a republican atRead More heart.. and here the Left of all left dem groups endorses here..mmmmmmmm just thinking out loud..

I agree - the dangerous stop signs On Hudson Ave should be removed in both directions and keep theRead More stop signs on South St. and the exit ramps from Route 9.
