Superintendent's Message... Superintendent’s Message... This fall we are bringing two building bonds before voters. I am hosting two community meetings to discuss the bond requests and would like to encourage you to attend the second evening if you were unable to join us on September 9. The second of the two meetings is listed in our Community Education flyer and is scheduled for 6:30 PM on Monday September 23. On the evening of September 9 we started at Sunnyside Elementary for a tour of that facility and then headed to the high school at 7:15 PM for a tour of that facility. On September 23 we will reverse the order and begin our tour at the high school. During the community meeting I will be taking questions and providing details on both of the proposed bonds. I would appreciate the opportunity to come and visit with your community group or organization about the building bonds or share what is happening in Havre Public Schools. If you would like to schedule a time please contact me at 265-4356.
The Havre Public School elected Board of Trustees and Officers are as follows: Darlene Bricker - Board Chair Harvey Capellen - Board Vice-Chair Aileen Couch Cindy Erickson Ed Hill Theresa Miller Norman Proctor Curtis Smeby
Every year about this time I like to start singing, “It’s the most wonderful time of the year”, much to the chagrin of my wife and two children and anyone that isn’t tone deaf. I know the song has nothing to do with the start of the school year, but for me it is absolutely one of my favorite moments throughout the year. It is such a good feeling to see the school buildings fill back up with students and be a part of the energy they bring with them. I was extremely proud of our staff as I visited our buildings on the first day of school. Havre Public Schools’ “Tradition of Excellence” was evident throughout our district beginning on day one. The 2013-2014 school year holds so much promise and I feel so fortunate to be a part of this great district. Elementary District Building Bond Sunnyside
