RUSSELL – After 42 years of dedicated service to the Edwards-Knox Central School District, friend and colleague Paul Hull has retired.

For more than four decades, Hull has been much more than a custodian—he has been a familiar face, a helping hand, and an important part of the heart of our school. It's often said that Hull is part of the building itself, and anyone who has walked through our halls knows just how true that is.

Throughout the years, Hull built lasting relationships with students, staff, and families alike. His kindness, dependability, and willingness to lend a hand have made a positive impact on generations of Cougars. Whether greeting students with a smile, helping staff however he could, or taking pride in keeping our school looking its best, Hull has left an unforgettable mark on our district, said school district officials.

The school district wishes Hull many years of happiness, good health, and time to enjoy his next chapter.
