A Message from the Superintendent
Welcome to another exciting school year at Crestview Local Schools!
As I begin my second year as Superintendent, I find myself even more appreciative of what makes Crestview such a special place. Over the past year, I have had the opportunity to learn more about our students, our staff, our families, and the community we call home. I have seen firsthand the pride people have in Crestview and the commitment so many people have to making this a great place for kids.
That foundation gives us an exciting opportunity this year, not simply to continue what we have always done well, but to intentionally look for ways to become even better.
Our Regional Excellence Initiative (REI) will help guide that work. Our goal is simple: to become the best school district in Northwest Ohio. That doesn't mean we believe we have everything figured out. Quite the opposite. It means we are committed to continually asking ourselves how we can improve the experiences and opportunities we provide for our students.
This work will continue to focus on the areas that matter most: Teaching, Learning, Environment, Connections, and Opportunities. These pillars will help us keep our focus where it belongs, on providing an excellent education while creating a school experience that prepares our students for whatever comes next.
Our Portrait of a Graduate work will continue to be an important part of that effort. We want every Crestview graduate to leave us prepared not only with knowledge, but with the skills, character, confidence, and adaptability needed to navigate life beyond high school. Whether that path leads to college, a career, the military, or somewhere else entirely, our responsibility is to help each student find success in the path that is right for them.
This school year will also bring plenty of excitement and change to Crestview. As we continue our facility improvements, we will see progress throughout our campus and athletic complex. Projects like these are about much more than buildings and fields. They are about creating environments and opportunities that allow our students, staff, and community to continue to grow.
Of course, none of this happens because of one person or one group. It happens because Once a Knight, Always a Knight means something here. Our students, staff, families, alumni, and community members all play a role in making Crestview what it is, and what it can become. I am incredibly excited about the year ahead. There is a lot of good happening at Crestview, and I am grateful to be a part of it. I look forward to working alongside our students, staff, families, and community as we continue to grow, improve, and pursue Regional Excellence together.
Thank you for your continued support of Crestview Local Schools. Here's to another great year of learning, growth, opportunity, and Knight pride!
Go Knights!
Warm regards,
Matt Dubé
Superintendent, Crestview Local Schools
