The district leadership team and administrative staff members exist to support the efforts of all employees for the benefits of our early childhood through grade 12 learners. As the district continues to grow and change, additional support services have been put into place to address staff needs. This directory has been created to assist staff in accessing these services by providing contact information for employees at the district’s Administrative Center. Questions, comments, and suggestions from employees are welcomed, and district office staff will strive to provide accurate and prompt responses.
VISION
A recognized community of learners, where everyone has the voice, freedom, and responsibility to create individual learning paths.
