The Celina City Schools Board of Education would like to thank Dr. Ken Schmiesing for his dedication as our district superintendent and wish him the very best in his retirement. We will be working on the appointment of an Interim Superintendent, as we embark on the search for a long-term replacement. This important decision comes as the Board considers various factors, including timing, the arrival of three new board members in January, and the desire to seek valuable community input.

After careful consideration and deliberation, the Celina City Schools Board of Education is confident that this strategic move will ensure continuity in the administration of our district and provide an opportunity for stakeholders to actively participate in the selection process for a permanent superintendent.

The Interim Superintendent, who will temporarily assume leadership responsibilities, will be named before Dr. Schmiesing’s last day to ensure a smooth transition. By appointing an Interim Superintendent, we can maintain stability and uphold our commitment to providing a high-quality education for our students.

Thank you,
