Security Officer Retires with 21 Years of Service

Longtime Security Officer Leo Desormier retired in September 2020 after 21 years of service. When Desormier came to FWCD in 2000, he was seeking employment as a maintenance manager or supervisor in fleet equipment and plant operations. His safety management acumen, commitment to excellence and work ethic landed him on the School’s Security team instead.

Though Security was a career change for Desormier, he approached it like any other job: with commitment and deep study. He typically worked nights and weekends at the School, and his role was to keep buildings and the campus as a whole secure. His work ultimately paired him to a position with City Center Security and with the Bass Companies. Through City Center, he was trained by ex-Secret Service officers, gaining invaluable skills and expertise to serve the FWCD community.

“Leo was our regular connection for Falcon’s weekend romps around campus,” said Head of School Eric Lombardi. “We miss seeing him, but are happy for Leo having the chance to retire.”
