Superintendent’s Column

by Dan White

Welcome to the 2026-2027 school year!

As we begin another exciting school year, it is always a pleasure to welcome back our talented and dedicated employees. It is equally exciting to greet our newest team members and spend time with them during onboarding, mentoring and new teacher orientation.

This year, we welcome an outstanding group of professionals to the Revere family. They bring with them a wealth of experience, fresh perspectives, unique talents and a shared commitment to helping every student thrive. We are confident they will make a positive impact in our classrooms, schools and community.
