Wishing Sara Linde a Wonderful Retirement!
After 25 years of supporting students as a counselor at Richfield High School (and once upon a time, as an assistant girls golf coach), Sara Linde is heading into a well-earned retirement!
From Hastings to RHS, Sara’s calm presence and guidance impacted countless students and families. One of her favorite memories? Chaperoning three unforgettable German trips with colleague Elizabeth Zehnpfennig—an experience filled with adventure and connection.
In retirement, Sara looks forward to spending more time with friends and family, tackling Sudoku and crossword puzzles, golfing, traveling, and especially, a European Christmas Market river cruise this winter.
Thank you, Sara, for your 25 years of care, wisdom, and dedication. Your presence will be deeply missed at RHS!
