October is National Principals Month, and we are grateful to have two outstanding principals leading our Richland #44 schools!
Staci Schmitz, Richland Elementary Principal
When staff were asked what they appreciate about Mrs. Schmitz, the same words came up again and again: positive, kind, supportive, caring, and fun. Staff shared that Mrs. Schmitz's steady presence, genuine care for others, and willingness to jump in wherever she is needed make Richland Elementary a place where students and staff feel valued and supported.
Lukas Davison, Richland Jr/Sr High School Principal
Staff describe Mr. Davison as a steady, thoughtful, and supportive leader who trusts his staff and always keeps students at the center of his decisions. They especially appreciate his willingness to listen, provide meaningful feedback, support new ideas, and be there when students or staff need him.
We are incredibly fortunate to have Mrs. Schmitz and Mr. Davison leading our schools. Thank you both for the time, energy, heart, and leadership you give to Richland #44 each day. Happy National Principals Month! 💛💙
From the school day to activities and community events, our buildings are busy places! We appreciate the time and effort our custodial staff puts into caring for these shared spaces. 𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙠 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙗𝙚𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝘾𝙤𝙡𝙩𝙨 𝙩𝙚𝙖𝙢! 💙💛
Today we recognize Mrs. Carlson, who is beginning her second year serving our entire district in the technology role while also teaching at the Jr/Sr High.
From supporting students and staff to taking on an especially demanding role during this summer’s transition to Infinite Campus, she has jumped in wherever needed and helped keep us moving forward.
Thank you, Mrs. Carlson, for taking on this role and for all you do for Richland #44! 🐴💻💛
