Building a Bright Future Together

Welcome back to a year at  the Laurel School District! As your superintendent, I am thrilled to share updates, celebrate accomplishments, and look ahead to the exciting opportunities awaiting our students, staff, and families. Our district continues to thrive because of the unwavering dedication of our community and a shared commitment to excellence in education.

Celebrating Successes

The past few months have been nothing short of remarkable. From achieving state-level awards in academics and athletics to launching innovative programs in STEM and the arts, Laurel students are excelling in every area. Our dedicated teachers and staff have played a pivotal role in ensuring each student has the resources and support needed to succeed.

Recently, we celebrated our high school robotics team’s victory at the regional championships. Their hard work, creativity, and teamwork have set a shining example for us all. This is just one of many stories that showcase the extraordinary talent within our district.

Looking Ahead

As we move into this semester, I’m excited to announce the launch of our new Digital Learning Initiative. This program aims to integrate cutting-edge technology into our classrooms, providing students with the tools and skills they need to thrive in an increasingly digital world. By fostering innovation and critical thinking, we are preparing our students to be leaders in the 21st century.

We’re also deepening our commitment to student wellness. Our district is introducing new mental health resources and counseling services to ensure every child feels supported and valued. Education is about more than academics; it’s about nurturing the whole child.

Community Partnership Matters

None of this would be possible without the support of our community. I invite you to get involved—whether it’s volunteering at your child’s school, attending board meetings, or joining our Parent-Teacher Association. Together, we can make a difference.

Thank you for trusting us with the privilege of educating your children. I look forward to an incredible semester filled with learning, growth, and achievement.

Warm regards,Dr. Shawn Larrimore
