What families can expect: Steady leadership, clear communication, and continued support for students.
Why they were selected: The board’s priority was to ensure continuity while conducting a thoughtful search. As leaders who already understand Germantown, they can:
• Support students, staff, and families
• Maintain momentum on district priorities
• Provide stability during the transition

Why continuity matters: Germantown’s success is built on the daily work of dedicated teachers, support staff, administrators, and leaders across the district.
During this transition, the goal is not to change what is working well. The goal is to provide steady leadership, support our staff, and continue the important work already happening in our schools.
Leading together: Dr. Castro and Mr. Misiak bring complementary strengths that support both the operational and educational needs of the district. Working alongside our dedicated staff, they look forward to the collaboration ahead.
Looking ahead: The 2026-27 school year will be a year of stability, collaboration, and continued progress as Germantown remains focused on helping every student learn, grow, and succeed.
