Superintendent

Dear Central Dauphin School District Students, Families, Employees, and Community,

Welcome to a new and exciting school year! I am deeply honored to serve as the Superintendent of Schools for our beloved Central Dauphin School District.

Over my 28 years in public education—as a teacher, building administrator, district administrator, and coach—I have come to believe deeply in the power of community, innovation, and high expectations. As a father to three children, I understand first-hand how important trust, collaboration, and clear communication are between educators and families.

CDSD is already built on a strong foundation of academic excellence and rich traditions. Together, we will build on that foundation by embracing learner-centered programs that promote critical thinking, interdisciplinary collaboration, and a spirit of innovation. Our goal: preparing each student not only for success in school, but for a fulfilling life after graduation.

This year, I invite each of you to be an active partner in learning:

• Students: Take ownership of your journey. Ask questions, take risks, and push yourself to grow.

• Families & Caregivers: Stay engaged — through conversations, school events, volunteerism, and supporting your child’s learning at home.

• Teachers & Staff: Thank you for your dedication and creativity. Your passion makes the difference.

• Community & Partners: Your support, voice, and resources help make our district stronger.

Throughout the year, Central Dauphin School District will continue our commitment to continuous improvement. That means we will evaluate, reflect, and act—always striving to refine our educational programs, meet diverse needs, and ensure equity for all students.

In partnership with all stakeholders, we will engage, empower, and inspire our learners. I’m excited to work side by side with you to help our students reach their full potential.

Here’s to a fulfilling, safe, and successful school year ahead. Go Panther / Rams!
