  • Student Engagement

    Superintendent Morawski believes in fostering strong connections between district administration and the student body.  Under his leadership, the Superintendent Stars program recognizes elementary and middle school students for their model behavior in the classroom amongst their peers. The program provides the staff, students, and families with the opportunity to engage directly with the superintendent and school board.  Additionally, the  Superintendent's Student Advisory Council furthers the superintendent's commitment to inclusivity and student representation by providing high school students with the chance to provide feedback, ideas, and concerns to district staff.  Through this initiative, students can develop leadership skills by collaborating with their peers and school administration.
