Superintendent Update: October 2023
We are off to a great start in Autauga County Schools! It’s hard to believe that the first two months of the 2023-2024 school year are already behind us. I could not be prouder to lead a school system where students are engaged in dynamic lessons, educators are passionately teaching, and parents are committed partners in providing the district’s nearly 9,000 students with a top-notch educational experience.
Having walked the halls at every school in the district, I can confidently share that a solid foundation for student growth and development has been laid. It’s now my responsibility to build on that foundation with consistent expectations for all stakeholders. The stakes are far too high to allow complacency to creep in and stifle the tremendous progress we’re making across the district. My expectations are straightforward: treat people right, serve others, and do your job well. When these simple but powerful statements are lived out by students, faculty & staff, and parents, we will transform this school district.
The excitement and engagement alive on every campus is also permeating throughout the community! Autauga County Schools is privileged to partner with dozens of organizations and local businesses whose generosity is helping us live out the district’s new mission of “fostering the whole student in an academically rigorous environment, where everyone is known and valued, by creating pathways designed for success” by providing tools and resources that enhance our student’s learning experience.
It’s a new day in Autauga County Schools, and I want you to have a front-row seat to the transformation happening in our district. I encourage you to connect with ACS through social media and register to receive district news and events by visiting ACBOE.net/communitycounts. The work has just begun, but I vow to use my personal and professional experiences as a lifelong Autauga County resident and 17-year district employee to ensure ACS is a thriving system where all students are known and valued. I’ll continue to champion the great work in our schools and provide the support and guidance necessary to make any improvements standing in our way.
Why Not Us,
