Superintendent's Superintendent’s Message... Message... The 2014-2015 school year has officially begun. Each school year brings new and exciting challenges. I am extremely proud of the work our staff has accomplished to meet the challenges that are beyond their control. The construction projects in our district are going to positively impact our students and staff when they are completed, and at the same time, it has created some unique circumstances. I cannot say or repeat enough of the effort that has been put forth to make sure that children and instruction are priority one.

The Havre Public School elected Board of Trustees and Officers are as follows: Aileen Couch - Board Chair Harvey Capellen - Board Vice-Chair Cindy Erickson Ed Hill Theresa Miller Norman Proctor Tim Scheele Curtis Smeby

If your group, club or community organization is interested in learning more about something happening at Havre Public Schools, I would welcome the opportunity to visit at any time this school year. I know that the educational team of Havre Public Schools welcomes your input and greatly appreciates all of the support this community has given our district. I would also like to invite you to attend a meeting of the Havre Board of Trustees this school year. The monthly meetings are held on the second Tuesday at 6:30 PM in the Havre Middle School Auditorium. I consider it such an honor to serve this district and community as your Superintendent. I truly believe that my family and I are fortunate to live in this community and be a part of such an exceptional school district. I would like to extend my best wishes to all of our students this school year and hope that 2014 – 2015 will be the most outstanding school year they will experience. Thank you.

Superintendent's Superintendent’s Message... Message... The 2014-2015 school year has officially begun. Each school year brings new and exciting challenges. I am extremely proud of the work our staff has accomplished to meet the challenges that are beyond their control. The construction projects in our district are going to positively impact our students and staff when they are completed, and at the same time, it has created some unique circumstances. I cannot say or repeat enough of the effort that has been put forth to make sure that children and instruction are priority one.

The Havre Public School elected Board of Trustees and Officers are as follows: Aileen Couch - Board Chair Harvey Capellen - Board Vice-Chair Cindy Erickson Ed Hill Theresa Miller Norman Proctor Tim Scheele Curtis Smeby

If your group, club or community organization is interested in learning more about something happening at Havre Public Schools, I would welcome the opportunity to visit at any time this school year. I know that the educational team of Havre Public Schools welcomes your input and greatly appreciates all of the support this community has given our district. I would also like to invite you to attend a meeting of the Havre Board of Trustees this school year.

I truly believe that my family and I are fortunate to live in this community and be a part of such an exceptional school district. I would like to extend my best wishes to all of our students this school year and hope that 2014 – 2015 will be the most outstanding school year they will experience. Thank you.
