A Message from the Superintendent

Dear VVS Community,

As I begin my tenure as Superintendent of the Vernon Verona Sherrill School District, I am grateful for the warm welcome I’ve received and thrilled with the outstanding start to the 2025–2026 school year. These past weeks have been filled with energy, optimism, and a strong sense of pride in our schools.

From visiting classrooms to attending events, I have witnessed firsthand the dedication of our staff, the enthusiasm of our students, and the incredible support of our families and community.  It has been exciting to see learning in action, to hear the positive conversations and connections among our students,

and to feel the momentum that comes with a new school year.

What has stood out most in these early weeks is the spirit of unity that defines VVS. Whether in classrooms, at events, or throughout the community, I see people coming together with a shared sense of purpose. It reminds me that we are strongest when we move forward as one district and one community, all working together for the success of every student.

I would also like to recognize the outstanding work of our transportation, food service, technology, maintenance and custodial teams. From safely bringing students to school each day, to providing them with healthy meals, to preparing and caring for our buildings and resources, these efforts, combined with the dedication of our teachers, support staff, administrators, families, and community partners, reflect the collective commitment that makes VVS such a special place.

I am honored to serve as your superintendent and look forward to the important work we will do together, as we continue to strengthen our schools and support every student’s success.
