Hello Raider Nation!
I’m thrilled to begin the new school year with you as your new superintendent. Thank you for the warm welcome! If we haven’t had the chance to meet yet, I look forward to connecting with you and your student(s) in the weeks ahead. I am committed to supporting every student in reaching their personal best by listening, learning, and leading.
Over the summer, we've been hard at work preparing our buildings for a great year ahead. Some of the key projects include fresh paint at Hastings Middle School, Kennedy Elementary, and the High School auditorium lobby. The elevator serving the 1st through 3rd floors at the High School is being fully modernized, and resurfacing work has been completed on the parking lots and walkways. A special thank you goes to our Buildings and Grounds team for their outstanding efforts this summer!
In our ongoing commitment to school safety, several staff members, including District leadership, will be participating in a two-day reunification training provided by the "I Love U Guys" Foundation. This is an important part of our comprehensive safety training across the District.
We’re also proud to share that Hastings High School is now the first high school in the state to have an Anatomage Table, a cutting-edge educational tool that will transform science and health instruction. This incredible technology will provide hands-on, interactive learning opportunities, particularly in our Healthcare Professions course.
Below you’ll find additional information about the upcoming school year. I’m excited for what’s ahead and grateful to be part of this supportive community.
Go Raiders!
Sincerely,
Dr. Kristine Wehrkamp Herman
Superintendent
