After years of incredible dedication and leadership, it's time to celebrate two outstanding educators as they move on to their next chapters!
Rochester Middle School is saying farewell to Principal Mr. Maus and Assistant Principal Mr. Tveten. Mr. Maus is officially retiring after 19 years of committed service to RMS, and Mr. Tveten is heading off on a new adventure after 21 remarkable years in the Rochester School District. Together, this dynamic duo has made a lasting impact on our students, staff, and community.
Their leadership and unwavering support will be missed more than words can express. To honor them, boosters presented each with a custom one-of-a-kind Rochester Hockey Jersey featuring their last name and years of service—and a special plaque now hangs above the gym doors in tribute to their love of hockey and legacy at RMS.
Please join us in thanking and congratulating Mr. Maus and Mr. Tveten! Your Rochester family will miss you terribly and we wish you nothing but the best.
