Whitko Superintendent Dr. Amy Korus said, “We are pleased to welcome Alicia Evans as our new district nurse. Alicia has a genuine heart for kids and a deep love for this community, which is evident in the care and compassion she brings to her work. We are grateful to have her serving our students and families at Whitko.
