A Message from the Superintendent 


Welcome to DeWitt Public Schools, Home of the Panthers and commitment to a culture of excellence. I am excited to serve the district and look forward to the 2023-24 school year. I have spent the last two years learning more about the district and working collaboratively with the Board and DPS stakeholders to focus on strategic planning to help us update our vision, mission, goals, and core values to continue the great work already underway and move the district forward. Trust, relationships, communication, and inclusivity are important goals for me as a leader as I serve the district, staff, students, and families.
