Betsy has been a warm and friendly presence for our students, faculty and staff. We will miss her!

🎉 HAPPY RETIREMENT, DEPUTY BETSY LEHMANN! 🎉

Today, we join together to celebrate and say a massive "thank you" to a true cornerstone of our community. After years of dedicated service, Deputy Betsy Lehmann is officially retiring! 💙🚓

For years, Deputy Lehmann has been a familiar, comforting, and protective presence throughout the North Syracuse Central School District. As a School Resource Officer (SRO), her mission was always so much more than just a job; it was about keeping our schools safe and building real, lasting connections with our youth.

From high-fives in the hallways to offering a listening ear on tough days, Deputy Lehmann has impacted the lives of countless young students. She didn’t just protect our classrooms; she mentored, guided, and inspired a generation of students to be their best selves. 🌟

"A great SRO doesn't just protect a school; they build a community within it."

Deputy Lehmann, the North Syracuse community, the parents, the staff, and, most importantly, the thousands of students you’ve helped along the way are endlessly grateful for your heart, your dedication, and your service. You have left a lasting legacy of safety and kindness.

Please join us at the Onondaga County Sheriff's Office in wishing Deputy Betsy Lehmann the happiest, most relaxing, and well-deserved retirement!

THANK YOU to Jewish Community Foundation of Cny and Jewish Federation of Central New York for sponsoring the LIFE CHANGING 2023 Teen Taste of Israel Trip for 21 young adults!

We are jet lagged and tired, and happy to be home with our families, but sad to leave the amazing land of Israel. We deepened our connections with each other and to the Land.
