The 2015-16 school year is officially open at South Bend Public Schools! With 550+ K-12 students on the rolls we are excited to get school back up and running.
We were honored to have a special visitor kick off the Jr. Sr. High opening assembly this morning!
Superintendent of Public Instruction Randy Dorn delivered a positive presentation to students and staff in the newly remodeled Koplitz Field House. Supt. Dorn's message to South Bend students centered not on the importance of test scores, but pursuing personal interests, creativity, good decisions, and positive personal traits of how to be successful in life (

I thought it refreshing to have our State Superintendent focus on positive life attributes, and not test scores. Don't get me wrong, students should strive to do their best on our state tests and it is important to measure student learning. However, it is my belief we need to also focus on the tenets of success as described by Supt. Dorn. I would like to thank Supt. Dorn for his encouraging message to our students.

As superintendent, I consider it both a privilege and a duty to frequent our classrooms, and I enjoy being able to visit with students and staff on a daily basis. Below are some pics of my first day walk-through. Welcome back!
