The Hollister R-V School District recognized former school board president, John Winkert, as their Community Spotlight recipient at the November board of education meeting.

Winkert served on the Hollister School Board for six (6) years, serving as president from 2018 to 2021 according to a release from the District.

According to Hollister Superintendent, Dr. Brian Wilson, during those six years, Winkert was very reliable, could always be depended on, was always there to help others, and had a goal of making Hollister Schools better. “It is hard to put into words all that John did during those six years, there are certain things you just can’t measure,” says Dr. Wilson. “He has a heart not just for this school district, but the people in it. That heart helped me and made me a better person.”

The Hollister School District is thankful to Mr. Winkert for his service to the board, the community, and the staff, students, and their families.
