The sapling was placed into the ground not only to grow its own roots, but to represent years of work by a former Righetti student and longtime community member.
The Santa Maria Joint Union High School District organized the tree-planting ceremony to recognize Dr. Carol Karamitsos, a former longtime member of the district's Board of Education.
A plaque celebrating Karamitsos, who served on the school board from 2006 to 2022, was also placed at the foot of the tree. The father-and-daughter duo quickly took on the nicknames of Dr. Carol and Dr. John to avoid confusion. Her father had a hand in delivering upwards of 30,000 babies during his 40-year career in medicine and Carol Karamitsos followed in his footsteps, delivering thousands of babies in Santa Maria.
“Dr. Karamitsos was a guiding force on our school board,” superintendent Antonio Garcia said Wednesday. “Her vast experience and deep connections in the community provided stability, context and a very important viewpoint to the board. The district is in a better place because of Carol’s dedicated service.”
