superintendent will replace long-time Superintendent Monte Bainter who is moving to another district.
In addition to providing leadership for all programs and operations, the board is seeking an individual who will serve as a

We understand that good schools
are important to improve the
quality of life for our students and

scholarships, volunteer hours
and other forms of support for
our students and teachers.
