Message from the Superintendent

Dear Parents and Community Members,

Over the years, our system has been known for the excellence of its educational program. We appreciate and value the importance of helping each and every child succeed, and we understand that by having a system where we hold ourselves accountable, we can do an even better job.

This year, the Shelby County School System embarked on several projects designed to take our schools to a new level. I am very proud of the accomplishments we have already made in this ongoing process.

One of the first areas of focus was Continuous School Improvement (CSI). I am very passionate about this because I believe school improvement is the key to success in all of our schools. This process seeks improvement in all aspects of a school - from instruction to the care and operation of our facilities.

In addition to school improvement, another area of focus this year was developing the Comprehensive Capital Improvement Plan to help address the unprecedented growth that Shelby County has experienced over the past ten years. This plan has four components that work together to address the immediate as well as long-range capital needs of in our school system.

The Shelby County School System is also developing a new strategic long-range planning process that should help prepare our system for district-wide accreditation. We are excited about developing a long-range plan that will involve a careful, in-depth study of the growing needs of our community.

Through the implementation of CSI and preparation for the strategic planning process, we will develop an outstanding blueprint for our children’s future. We also recognize the important role parents play in the education of their children and the need for an active partnership between home and school. In addition, the support of city and community leaders, citizens, businesses, nonprofit groups and higher education institutions will further our ability to offer optimal learning opportunities for students. With everyone’s active involvement and support, we can continue to make Shelby County Schools better each and every year.
