Erika Pace has never left the Corbett schools. Literally! Once she got started in kindergarten, she has either been a student or an employee. Living here in Corbett since birth, she is now married and has two children of her own. She lives at the end of a long gravel road where she loves the peace and quiet after a busy day of serving hundreds of students both breakfast and lunch. Erika graduated from Corbett High in 1995, and the very next year was an employee in the kitchen. Currently, Erika is the Food Service Manager and has seen cafeteria meals go from homemade meals made with a recipe, to fast food meals that were either frozen or boxed, back to meals made from scratch. Erika says the most popular lunch item on the menu continues to be pizza, while the least favorite is the stir fry because of all the green and healthy veggies that are included! Having also cooked at Menucha Conference and Retreat Center, this is where she met her husband, Allen. Their daughter is 11 years old and their son, 9. Erika loves the fact that the entire community feels like one big family to her. She said it feels good to have her children have the same teachers she herself had as a child! Currently Erika is also in school herself. She attends school online in the evenings, working on earning her bachelor's degree in Social Science. Not sure where or what she may do with her degree once earned, one thing she is sure of- she loves her family, current job and community!
