Watonga Eagle Staff, Family, and Friends,

Welcome to the 2021-2022 school year! I hope you have had a wonderful summer!  The start of a new school year is always an exciting time, not only for students, but for families and our staff as well.  This summer has been an exciting time for our school district.  Our district leaders have worked together to make sure our students have every opportunity for success next school year.  Every school site received a facility improvement.  The elementary school was remodeled along with installing a new intercom system and keyless entries.  The middle school bathrooms, office, and commons area were also upgraded.  The high school had three classrooms remodeled in the gym including a new art room.  In the high school commons, TV monitors were installed in the cafeteria for assemblies, monitors for guest speakers, and for signage throughout the year.  We also updated the football and track coaches offices.  To help our students in the classroom, our leadership team along with a teacher from each building learned together at summer professional development.  

We know that every student in our school is important, and I believe that ALL students can learn and that we ALL are learners.  WE must work together to stay focused on our fundamental purpose for being in education which is student academic achievement.  I believe we do this by staying positive and working together.  This is OUR school district and we are much stronger together than we are apart!  The leadership in our school district is here to support you in whatever ways necessary.  If everyone does their part, then students will learn, extracurricular activities will be successful, and our community will reap the benefits along with our students.  I am looking forward to working with all of you this year!  Let’s make it a great one!  Go Eagles!

Sincerely,

Kyle S. Hilterbran, Superintendent
