Albert Ruffini's Dedication Ceremony
Albert Ruffini's Dedication Ceremony
Albert Ruffini was a science teacher in the Wayne district for 42 years. 39 of those years he was a teacher at Wayne Hills High School. In 2005 he retired with an effective and dedicated career of working with students, colleagues, and the township. He continued his relationship with Wayne Township for many years thereafter. He was a long-time Wayne Lions Club member who held many officer positions and served as the Leo Club advisor at both Wayne Hills and Wayne Valley. He always ensured that the high school population had ample opportunities to perform various acts of community service.

Al passed away in December 2020 and the Science Department at Wayne Hills thought it was most appropriate and deserving to commemorate his contributions and service. An American holly tree in his honor was planted in the front lawn outside the Main Office and the south wing hallway between the science lab rooms 228 and 235. This will be designated as the Al Ruffini Memorial Science Wing. Al was very involved in environmental and community issues so Wayne Hills thought it fitting to conduct a "simple" dedication during their Environmental Week this year.
