Out of all the things that secretarial supervisor Norma Street will miss about the Gunn community, the one that stands out is the people. “I will miss the students and teachers at Gunn,” Street said. “They are all wonderful and they make Gunn the wonderful school it is.”

After working for more than 22 years, Street is leaving Gunn. “I am retiring because of recent health issues and [because] I want to have time to fulfill some aspirations before it is too late to enjoy them,” Street said.

As the secretarial supervisor of Gunn, Street has been the secretary to four principals and a countless number of students and parents. “My favorite part of working at Gunn is [working] with students and or parents with problems to help them find a solution,” Street said. “[My favorite memories are] the numerous times I have encountered an irate parent and sent them away with a smile on their face.”

Flipping through the memories Street made with the Gunn community, she describes the changes she has seen through numbers. “[Since my tenure], there are 4000 more students, 7000 more parents, 35 more classrooms and 43 more teachers,” she said.

As far as the future is concerned, Street is planning to take it easy and embrace life with her family and friends. “My future plans will be to travel with my husband of 50 years, spend more time with our grandchildren and family and to volunteer at several non-profit organizations,” she said.

As much as Street is looking forward to the next stage in her journey of life, Gunn will always have a place in her heart. “I will truly miss being at Gunn and working with all the wonderful people,” she said.
