EMPLOYEES RECOGNIZED FOR YEARS OF SERVICE

Ms. Lillian Orlich, who has completed 45 years of service with the school division, will be among 311 employees who will be honored for 20, 25, 30, 35 and 45 years of service to the school division at a ceremony at Saunders Middle School on Tuesday, April 21 at 7:00 p.m. Saunders is located at 13557 Spriggs Road, Manassas. Ms. Orlich, a guidance counselor at Osbourn Park High School in Manassas, came to Osbourn High School (then a county school) in 1950, fresh from graduate school, to teach English and social studies.

"The principal introduced me as the "girl from Manhattan," recalls Orlich, a New York native, "I even remember what I was wearing." Except for a brief period in the 1960s when she left the area to become a vice principal in New Jersey, Orlich has been with Prince William County Schools ever since, serving at various times as teacher, eighth grade coordinator, and, since 1970, as a full-time guidance counselor. A Manassas-area institution, Orlich counts among her former pupils a former mayor, judges, generals and educators, more than a few of whom have already retired.

School division employees who have completed 5, 10, or 15 years of service have been recognized at their work locations. Below are the recipients of 20 through 45-year service awards, their positions and school or department.
