Superintendent's Message
As we head into Spring Break, I just wanted to send a quick message wishing everyone a safe and rejuvenating break from their usual school routines. We still have over 40 days left until the end of the school year, so there's plenty to look forward to when we get back.
I hope you’ll take this opportunity to unwind, recharge, and spend quality time with family and friends. Let's come back with renewed energy, ready to tackle the exciting events and challenges awaiting us in the final stretch of the academic year.
Have a wonderful Spring Break!
Dr. Dan Callaghan
Superintendent
