This has been an enjoyable first week as your new superintendent in Pingree-Buchanan Schools, I have started to meet some members of this community, and I welcome others to stop in and introduce themselves to me in the next few weeks. You might see me working out in the nice gym in our high school, golfing, or fishing on the reservoir with my wife Christy. I have three children, Caden (23), Carson (21) and Taliah (19). This is a great place to be, I am looking forward to working with our students, staff, and families. Have a wonderful July 4th, enjoy the family time.
The Pingree-Buchanan High School gymnasium will be off limits until Monday, June 30th for resurfacing. The weight room facility is still available during this time.
