Superintendent's Message
Well, the 2023-2024 School Year could not have started off any better for me, as I have begun unpacking my belongings in Columbia Falls. A great opportunity lies ahead of me and I cannot be more excited for this new adventure. I wanted to take a brief minute to introduce myself so you can gain a glimpse of character, vision, and background.
My name is Cory Dziowgo (pronounced Jeffco) and I am the proud husband of Amie. We are celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary this summer and she too is enjoying the move to Columbia Falls. Prior to getting into teaching, we used to work in Antarctica as contract employees for the National Science Foundation. That bit of information will explain why we are looking forward to the winter weather of the Flathead Valley. We have three kids, all in elementary school. Everything is new to them now and they are adjusting to the extended daylight hours of northern Montana. We all enjoy getting outside and exploring new environments. You will see us walking, camping, riding bikes, learning to fish, and enjoying time together. Please do not hesitate to throw us a friendly wave or stop by and chat.
I have served as a superintendent in southeast Wyoming for three years. During that time, I endured the pandemic, budget cuts, and various other educational scenarios. I feel that these experiences have prepared me to make productive contributions to the positive trajectory of Columbia Falls SD #6.
One characteristic that I take great pride in is my visibility throughout the community and my approachability. You will see me throughout all of the campuses, interacting with all stakeholders, and helping where needed. Please do not hesitate to reach out and let me know what I can assist you with as I would like to support you all however I can. One practice that I will continue is my Curbside with Cory YouTube messages. I take quick, one minute videos (done in one take) on various topics and messages. These are meant to be conversation starters and nuggets of information. You can find this playlist on the website under the Superintendent Page. Just a way for me to share information through communication and transparency.
As Columbia Falls SD #6 continues to strive towards constant communication and creating lasting partnerships. I ask you to ensure that we have the best means for communicating with you, as we will be using the autodialer, website, and other avenues to communicate with you all. Thank you for your involvement in our outstanding school district and I look forward to working with you for the years to come.
Superintendent,
Cory J. Dziowgo
