Our board and community seek an ethical, visible, and collaborative leader who balances the unique demands of both our traditional onsite school and growing virtual academy. The ideal candidate must demonstrate strong fiscal responsibility, transparent communication, and a deep respect for rural community value. We encourage staff, parents, and community members to attend or view these initial interviews.
