As we look ahead to January, we want to take a moment to recognize three dedicated board members who will not be serving in the next term. Their time on the board has been marked by commitment, thoughtful leadership, and a genuine dedication to doing what is best for our students, staff, and community.
Serving as a board member requires countless hours, careful decision-making, and a willingness to step up when it matters most. These individuals brought steady leadership, meaningful insight, and a deep respect for public education to every discussion and decision.
We are incredibly thankful for Diane Liebsch, Debbie Eplee, and Sean Crittendon for their service and the lasting impact they have made. Their contributions have helped shape our district and will continue to benefit our schools for years to come.
Thank you for your service, your leadership, and your heart for our students and community. ❤️💛

This year Central students participated in secret Santa gifts but they had to make them all themselves! You'll find many 3d printed items, cookies, dipped Oreos, ornaments and more! High school did it in a white Elephant Gift style and elementary picked each other! Both turned out amazing and the joy in these kids faces say it all! #WeAre409 #joyofgiving
