One of my favorite things about Triton has always been the people that I have met and had the priviledge of getting to know. Recently, at a superintendent meeting, we had a presentation from a company that works with schools and has a variety of services that they provide to help support schools. One of the Co-CEO’s that was presenting was a former student that I knew from when I first started at Triton almost 30 years ago. When something like that happens, I can’t help but smile and think about all of the amazing students that I have had the opportunity to meet and know during my tenure at Triton Public Schools.
We currently have our entire high school English department composed of former graduates. Even our high school principal is a former graduate. We have a number of folks that work at Triton that are former students. They fill a variety of roles from driving bus, working with our food service, working as administrative assistants, custodians and paraprofessionals. Just about every position in the district has a former student that is working every role. It is always a blessing when we get to hire former graduates. They understand what an amazing school district we have, and are happy to return. I think it says a great deal about how amazing our school district has become over the years.
I realize that I will retire at some point in my career, but having the opportunity to have worked for our amazing district is something that I am very thankful for. When I started at Triton in the fall of 1993, we were a very new school district and had just started working together to serve the three communities of Claremont, Dodge Center and West Concord. We have seen a number of changes that have taken place over the years, but the one thing that I think has always been a constant is the great people that live and work in our school district. I am thankful that I landed in such an amazing place and have been able to rasise my family and work in such a great place with great people. We have a great number of things to be proud of in our school district, but one of my favorite things will always be the great people that I have had the opportunity to serve as students. Even better is when you run into them unexpectedly and see them doing amazing things with their career.
Please reach out to me with any questions that you may have regarding our school district. You can email me at schlich@triton.k12.mn.us or you can call me at 507-418-7530 to reach me at the district office. I would be happy to set up a time to meet with you or your organization. I believe that communication is an important aspect of my job responsibility, and I welcome the opportunity to learn from your perspective. GO COBRAS!
