About Our District
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.
Our goal is to prepare students not only for success in the classroom, but also for meaningful lives beyond our walls. We are proud of our strong community partnerships, and we know that when schools and families work together, our students benefit most.
I encourage you to stay connected with us through our website, social media, and ParentSquare updates. Your support and involvement are vital to our shared success, and I’m excited about what we will accomplish together in the year ahead.
