       We are extremely proud of our staff.  It is one of the most experienced and well prepared in the area.  More than 70% of our certified staff hold a master's degree or above.  Our students are instructed by a staff of teachers and administrators that hold leadership positions in regional and state professional organizations.  Approximately 68% of our teachers are tenured and 64% of our building administrators have more than six years in the district.  Teacher turnover is low, approximately 11% for 95-96.  Teachers fresh out of college are also hired each year; our school district makes every effort to recruit the best teachers available.

     Our teachers are represented by professional organizations.  Many of our secretaries also belong to a professional organization.  Relationships with these groups have been quite good and continue to be strong because we all work together for the success of our students.
