South Central High School

It’s that time again! I always enjoy summertime but I’m always excited about starting the school year. The favorite part of my job is being around the students, so I’m looking forward to having them back in the building and visiting with them about their summer. We here at the high school have been working hard this summer to add exciting new programs and curriculum. We strive every year to evaluate what we did well and what we need to improve on. This past year  we have updated our technology, purchased a new math curriculum, enhanced our career exploration and IPS programs, added new student life areas in the building, and continued to upgrade our facilities to help give our students a great High School experience.

 I am very proud of the way our staff, students, board, parents and community handled all the Covid related changes last year. Everyone really pulled together and did what had to be done in order to keep school opened and the students learning. I feel confident we will do the same this year!

We welcome one new teacher to our Timberwolf family this year. Judson Tillotson will take over as our new Math teacher at the High School. We feel he is going to be a great addition to our staff. In closing, I want to say  how great the community has been to me and my family. We really feel at home here and are excited about what the future holds for South Central Schools. As always, please contact me anytime with any questions or concerns. Have a great school year.

Sincerely,

Bud Valerius
