I’m delighted to welcome you to the Germantown School District.
We are partners in your child’s education. We will provide outstanding teachers, a caring and supportive staff, and a safe learning environment for your children. We are committed to the intellectual and personal development of each student, and we believe that our values will help prepare them for a purpose-driven life as a member of an increasingly globalized and changing society. We believe that a rigorous and challenging academic curriculum is essential preparation for the top colleges and universities as well as any path our students choose.
Germantown Schools are your schools. I want you to feel that you are an integral part of this learning community. Everyone who is a member of this community—teachers, parents, support staff, administrators, instructional assistants, custodians, and of course the students—is actively engaged in learning and growing as individuals. We encourage and learn from each other while solving meaningful problems, whether it’s in mathematics or social relations. We know that learning together and from one another is one of the most powerful ways to learn.
GSD is fortunate to have parents who are actively involved in the lives of their children and the school community. The Germantown School Board devotes their time and efforts to assure continuous improvement of programs and services for all our children. In this regard, we are a close and supportive community of learners, with students placed firmly in the center.
The fundamental nature of a school changes from year to year, depending on the children and families that choose to become a part of this community. You and your children will change who we are, just as the Germantown School District will change who you are. I look forward to undertaking this exciting adventure with you.
Together we are better,
Brett Stousland
Superintendent
