My first full year as Superintendent of Catoosa County Public Schools has been amazing! I am more appreciative than ever of our students, teachers, employees, and this community.

This year, I’ve had the opportunity to speak with superintendents across the state of Georgia, and I am so proud to work in a system where the Board of Education truly collaborates and listens to the community to do what is best for kids.

I have visited every school and every classroom, and I’m so impressed with the high level of learning that occurs daily. Our schools are clean and well-maintained, but most of all, they are safe.

I can’t believe we only have 20 days left in this school year! We have a lot to look forward to as we end this year, but it is so important that we FINISH STRONG.

Please take the time to watch the parent and student safety videos below and have a serious conversation with your children about the content. Words matter, and it is more important now than ever before that we have an open dialogue with our students to help them understand the power, and the consequences, of their words and actions. It is also important for them to be reminded that if they see something, they should say something immediately.

Student safety is my number one priority. Your partnership with us in having these important and proactive conversations is critical as we work together to keep our students safe and FINISH STRONG!
