Superintendent's Corner
Happy First Day of School Eve!


When staff returned on Monday, I was reminded once again of why the Whitnall School District is such a special place. There was such excitement and enthusiasm for the new school year. I am so proud to serve this district in my role as superintendent.

Our district theme this year is Proud History, Bright Future , as a reminder that, while we have new changes to positively impact student learning, there are many traditions and structures that continue to serve us well. We have celebrated staff members who have been in the district more than 15 years, those just joining the district, and those who are Whitnall alumni.

All of our staff members have been eagerly preparing for our students to arrive tomorrow and are excited to kick off the new year! Strong relationships play a critical role in providing a strong education, and our caring staff is committed to developing those relationships.

I look forward to again sharing with you my weekly experiences in the district. During the summer, I've missed getting into buildings and seeing students and staff. I've also missed attending activities and events!

Please be sure to follow our Facebook page and Twitter account for daily updates and good news!
