Superintendent's Message

Welcome to 2026: A Fresh Start and a Bright Future

Welcome back, Wildcat/kat families!

I hope everyone had a restful winter break and was able to spend quality time with loved ones. As we turn the calendar to 2026, we are energized and ready to tackle the second half of the school year. The halls are once again filled with the excitement of learning, and our winter activities—from basketball and wrestling to our nationally-recognized Speech & Debate team—are in full swing.

As we approach the end of the first semester later this month, it is a perfect time to reflect on our progress and reset our goals. Our educators remain dedicated to providing high-quality instruction and ensuring that every student feels safe, supported, and challenged to grow.

Looking ahead, this spring will be a critical time for our district. We know that the future of our High School facility is on everyone's minds. We heard our community loud and clear in November, and we are currently engaged in a deep "listening phase." Over the coming months, we will be seeking your input, answering your questions, and working together to find a solution that balances the needs of our students with the priorities of our taxpayers. I invite you to join these conversations—your voice is essential as we plan our next steps.

Whether you are cheering in the stands, volunteering in a classroom, or participating in a board meeting, your involvement makes us stronger. Let’s make 2026 a year of connection, collaboration, and Wildcat/kat pride.

Together, we continue to learn, grow, and move forward.

Sincerely,

Cory J. Dziowgo
