New School Year - New Faces
2011/2012

Students will soon be returning to their classrooms. Before that can happen, many projects need to be completed. Buildings are cleaned, vacuumed and scrubbed. Windows are washed, desks are polished, hallways are waxed and staff is hired.

Two new administrators have begun their duties in the school district. In 1992, Brad Gregor began his career in New Prague teaching third and sixth grade.
