Christmas 2018 in Las Vegas and Texas

Special Announcement

After 34 years as a Kansas educator, I have decided to retire as the Superintendent of Schools for USD 493 Columbus on June 30, 2018.  I have been very blessed for the past 9 years to serve this district as its educational leader.  Columbus has been a great community to live and work in. 

On July 1, Debbie and I will transition to a new work as we move back to our home state of Oklahoma as I serve Quapaw as their new superintendent.  We look forward to the new journey that’s before us that God has provided.  

We wish to say thank you to the many great people we have worked with in Columbus.  You gave us so much more than we could ever repay.  Thank you for your kindness, caring attitude, and support as we tried our very best to reach each and every student.

I know the Board will find a new leader to guide this district to even greater success in the years to come.

May God continue to bless your efforts in USD 493 Columbus.

We will miss you.
