EXCELLENCE
Dear New Center 58 Educator,
Welcome to the Center School District family! We are absolutely thrilled to have you join us on this incredible journey of teaching, learning, and growing together.
As you step into your new role, know this: you belong here. You were chosen to be part of something meaningful, something bold, something transformational. Our district is filled with passionate, dedicated professionals who care deeply about our students—and now, that includes you.
This is more than just a job. It’s a calling. It's commitment to excellence. And it’s a belief that every student deserves the very best from us—every day.
You are not alone on this journey. Our principals, mentors, instructional coaches, central office staff, and your fellow educators are all here to support you. We will walk with you, cheer for you, guide you, and learn alongside you. When challenges arise—and they will—we'll face them together. When victories come—and they will—we'll celebrate them together.
You are joining us at an exciting time. We are working hard to elevate expectations, strengthen culture, and create schools that are joyful, innovative, and grounded in the success of every student. Your voice, your passion, and your talents are essential in shaping this future.
Thank you for choosing Center. Thank you for choosing our students. We can't wait to see the difference you'll make!
With gratitude and great anticipation,
Dr. Troy S. Hogg Interim Superintendent of Schools
