From the Superintendent
I would like to welcome you all back to school this year. As the new superintendent, I’m thrilled to take over the reins and since being hired, I have had the privilege of meeting many people and have really loved getting a glimpse of what the Cochrane-Fountain City District is all about.
First off, (I probably don’t have to tell you this) C-FC is a truly special place! It is evident people care about people here. I’ve witnessed the value the community places on education, the importance placed on providing students with what they need in order to be successful, and the care staff shows for one another. I have been so impressed and feel honored to be a part of this great district and community!
Education today faces many obstacles. However, our challenge is to embrace the future and assure that our students are properly prepared to become leaders in this exciting new world. To accomplish this monumental task, we will strive to provide the following: a high level of personalization in every aspect of a student's school experience, a proud recognition for individual and group accomplishments as well as for diligence and hard work, and an unwavering commitment to the development of character and civic responsibility in our young people.
To our students, I ask that you reflect on your goals and strive not only to pursue personal excellence but also to demonstrate your perseverance and integrity. Know that we are here to support and encourage you as you explore different possibilities and grow as learners. Remember that with these opportunities, comes both a personal and collective responsibility to be supportive of one another. I will count on you to go beyond tolerance and treat all members of our community with respect. I challenge each of you to contribute as we maintain and improve the long tradition of C-FC excellence in both curricular and co-curricular activities.
To our parents, it is through your support that we make a significant difference in the lives of our students. As we strive to continue to grow as an exemplary district, our partnership is critical. The C-FC community has dedicated itself completely to the education of its students and has placed great trust in our schools. I understand the importance of this trust and vow to work for the best interests of our students and community.
Again, my family and I are so thrilled to be a part of this wonderful community. Serving as superintendent of the Cochrane-Fountain City School District is as great an honor as it is a responsibility. I believe that the foundation of our future accomplishments will be found in the power of our combined efforts and the strength of our synergy.
I look forward to meeting and working with you all and look forward to a safe and productive year. Our teachers, counselors, maintenance crew, custodians, cooks, paraprofessionals, bus drivers, support staff, secretaries, and administration, stand ready to assist and guide each of you. Please let us know if we can be of any assistance throughout the year.
Sincerely,
Troy White
Superintendent
Cochrane-Fountain City School District
