An Excerpt from our Q3 Newsletter

Since 2020, I’ve had the privilege of serving as the Business Development Education Specialist at Weigand Construction. After a long and rewarding career in K–12 as a teacher, counselor, principal, and superintendent, this role has been a meaningful way to stay connected with friends and colleagues in a different, yet familiar, setting.

Rather than managing a district, I’ve had the chance to walk alongside other administrators as they plan for their schools’ needs. Drawing on what I learned while guiding more than $100M in construction as a superintendent, I’ve been able to help K–12 clients shape their goals and projects with confidence.

It’s been a joy to serve our region’s educators, but this chapter is coming to an end. At the close of 2025, I will be stepping down from my role at Weigand Construction.

I’m comforted knowing that our K–12 partners will be in excellent hands. Michael Keaffaber, former superintendent of MSD of Wabash County, will be stepping into this position, and you’ll be hearing from him very soon!

To the many colleagues and friends in education that I’ve had the pleasure of working with over the last five years: thank you for every conversation, challenge, and success we’ve shared. The memories and relationships made here will stay with me always. I look forward to cheering on the important work you’ll continue to do for our schools and communities!

With Gratitude,

Diane Woodworth
