Welcome to our school community! As your superintendent, I am excited to be part of a district that embodies the spirit and resilience of rural South Dakota. Our dedicated staff, supportive families, and engaged students create a warm and nurturing environment where every child can thrive. We are committed to providing a well-rounded education while preparing students for the challenges of tomorrow. Together, we can foster a culture of collaboration, innovation, and respect. I invite you to explore our website, connect with us, and become an active participant in our vibrant school community. Let’s work together to ensure a bright future for our students!
I am excited to return to Mount Vernon School. As a 1985 alum, the opportunity to return home is one I appreciate and I look forward to continuing and building on the fine tradition of Mount Vernon School. My wife Carrie and I have two sons, Tyler who teaches in Canistota (he student taught in Mount Vernon last Fall) and Alex a freshmen at Augustana University.
