From the Superintendent
 Dear School District 11
Community,
As the new superintendent
of schools in School District 11, I am excited about the
direction our district is taking and all of the outstanding
programs. Everyone involved in our district, from students and
staff to administrators and the Board of Education, is excited
about all the positive academic success taking place in our
schools and the direction in which we are moving.
We have adopted a new
vision, mission and goals for the district, along with belief
statements, values and guiding principles. Our district will
utilize its strengths to get the work done and done right. My
promise to you is that you will see evidence of our staff
utilizing their talents to make good things happen for all our
stakeholders-students, parents, community and other staff
members.
Technology, media and
globalization mean a world changing at an unprecedented pace –
and in ways it never has before. Vast amounts of information
are rapidly and readily available; automation and digitization
are increasing; global mobility and competition are on the rise;
social, political and economic landscapes are shifting
dramatically. Tomorrow is an era of new industries and a more
demanding workplace; in fact, when our current school-age
children move into the workforce, many will enter jobs yet to be
established or even envisioned.
District 11 must meet the
demands of today and foresee the demands of the future. Not
only does our children’s potential depend on it; the well-being
and viability of our city – our entire community, in fact –
hinge on our ability to do so. Our mission is to provide
excellent, distinctive educational experiences that equip
students for success today and in the future.
Colorado Springs School
District 11 is meeting the demands of the 21st
century by preparing our students for a world yet to be
imagined. Our talented, award-winning staff and educational
programs drive exceptional academic preparation for our students
– preschool through adult education. Our focus on cultural
competency and civic responsibility equips students to navigate
and influence a shifting world. Our innovative programs
generate class after class of inventive problem-solvers,
practiced communicators, skilled collaborators and expert users
of technology.
Please feel free to
contact me at any time. You may send me an e-mail at
nicholas.gledich@d11.org or call my office at 520-2001. I
look forward to hearing from you.
Dr. Nicholas Gledich,
Superintendent of Schools
