Dear Mauston and Lyndon Station Communities:
Welcome to the 2019-20 school year! I am extremely proud and honored to have been selected by the Board of Education to be your new Superintendent and I look forward to our working together this year on behalf of our students. I want to thank the Lyndon Station and Mauston communities for your continued support.
After graduating high school from New Lisbon, I lived and worked in the Fox Valley for the early part of my career. In 1992, my wife and I moved to Mauston to start a business and have called Mauston home ever since. There is no place I would rather be, and I take tremendous pride in our communities and district.
The School District of Mauston is proud and thankful for the strong business and community partnerships that have been developed and strengthened throughout the years. We know the success of our students depends on the collaboration of all our educational stakeholders. It is critical to every student’s success that they leave our schools with the necessary skills to achieve at high levels. We are working to have a singular, laser like focus on instruction and build consistency of practice across all of our schools.
This school year, we will focus on ensuring that our students have every opportunity to develop and advance in the pathway of their choice. As students progress through school, they need to be prepared for the next step in their college and career readiness plan. Additionally, we will continue to identify the challenges that lay ahead for our district. We face decisions about facility maintenance priorities and keeping current with technology. Talented teachers, equipped and skilled with the resources they need to teach college and career skills, develop strong students.
My commitment to you is to lead by example and with integrity, match my actions to my beliefs and act in trustworthy ways. I am enthusiastic about this work and expect to learn from each of you as much as I hope to contribute. Please join me and our great staff in celebrating a new school year. We look forward to your contributions and ideas as we work together to help our students and communities succeed.
