Superintendent’s Message

Welcome to the English Valleys Community School District.  Our goal is to provide educational opportunities for all students to reach their potential as responsible, productive, world citizens by challenging them with appropriate curriculum and instruction in a positive, caring environment.  

English Valleys staff is committed to creating an environment of academic challenge and growth, and social and personal responsibility.  When you place your children in our care, we take that responsibility seriously.   
I would like to extend a very special thank you to the citizens of the English Valleys Community School District.  Your overwhelming support of our schools is amazing and makes us proud to say we are “Bears”.  

Please contact me with any questions or concerns regarding your child’s educational experience.  Have a great school year.  

Respectfully,  

Mark Olmstead
