A Note From Our Superintendent
Welcome to Huron City Schools—a district committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and engaging educational environment where every student can thrive.
As Superintendent, it is a privilege to lead a team of dedicated educators and staff who work tirelessly to ensure that academic excellence, innovation, and student well-being remain at the heart of all we do. We believe in meeting students where they are and providing personalized pathways that empower them to grow academically, socially, and emotionally.
