I had the honor of speaking at the retirement celebration for Mrs. Tiffany Corbett and Mr. Paul Pannone last evening. Both of these phenomenal people-teachers have been instrumental in shaping the lives of thousands of student over the past 40+ years.
Their love, respect and passion for PLAINFIELD and its Students should serve as an example to current and future teachers alike.
The room was filled with past and present school administrators, peers, friends, families and student alumni. It was a remarkable evening honoring two well deserving lifelong teachers!
Tiffany and Paul the legacy of your years in Plainfield will live eternally through the students and faculty you have nurtured, encouraged and befriended. I am so blessed to have had you as educators and to count you as a friend.
I wish you the happiest of retirements.
Godfather – continue to watch over the flock even if it is from a distance!
And Tiff – thanks for keeping count of the administrators—somebody has got to keep it real, and keep giving ‘em the business – whoever 'em may be! Stay strong my friend and STAY in TOUCH!
Kindest Regard, Respect and Love,
Renata

I was one of Paul Pannone's students when he first came to the Plainfield Public School System at Maxson in the 70's. He was a teacher who positively effected my life as a young lesbian. As a Social Worker at the hospital, meeting teen mom's I heard both Mr. Pannone's name and Ms. Corbett's name mentioned many times as teachers they admired, respected and were supported by. Congratulations to them on their retirement. Plainfield High School will miss them dearly. Carrie Faraone
