Superintendent Welcome

I am extremely honored to begin this journey as your superintendent, serving our schools and community with genuine enthusiasm and dedication. Over the past nine years as high school principal, I have been continually inspired by the strength and spirit of our community. I am fully committed to continuing our path to becoming the district of choice.

Together, we will build on our successes and address challenges proactively. I am here to listen, collaborate, and ensure that every decision reflects our unwavering commitment to students, staff, families, and our entire community. Our priority is to create an environment where every student can and will learn, grow, and succeed.

In the coming months, there will be numerous opportunities for you to engage and connect with us. Strong partnerships with families and our community are crucial to our success; your involvement is invaluable!

I look forward to celebrating many achievements and successes together as we work towards making a positive impact on the lives of our students. Thank you for your ongoing support; it truly makes our community and schools a special place to be a part of.

Respectfully,

Todd Irvine, Superintendent
