MISSION STATEMENT: "TO COOPERATIVELY INSPIRE ALL STUDENTS TO ACHIEVE THEIR POTENTIAL"
Dear Pierre School District Families, Staff, and Community,
It is with great humility and gratitude that I introduce myself as the new Superintendent of the Pierre School District. I am truly honored to have the opportunity to serve this outstanding school district and become a part of such a welcoming and supportive community.
Education has been my life's work for the past 27 years, and this school year marks my 13th year serving as a superintendent. Throughout my career, I have been fortunate to work alongside dedicated educators, supportive families, and incredible students. Those experiences have reinforced my belief that strong schools are built through collaboration, trust, and a shared commitment to helping every student succeed.
My wife and I are excited to become part of the Pierre community. She also brings 27 years of experience in education and will be teaching 5th grade at Kennedy Elementary School this fall. We are both passionate about education and look forward to investing in the lives of Pierre's students and families.
We are also proud parents of two wonderful children. Our daughter, Paityn, is 25 years old, lives in Billings, Montana, and is currently attending medical school. Our son, Jaivyn, is 22 and recently graduated from South Dakota State University. He has begun his career with Pete Lien & Sons in Rapid City.
As I begin this new chapter, I am excited to listen, learn, and build relationships throughout the district and community. Pierre has a well-earned reputation for excellence, and I am committed to working alongside our outstanding staff, Board of Education, students, parents, and community members to continue that tradition.
Thank you for welcoming my family and me to Pierre. We are grateful for this opportunity and look forward to becoming active members of this exceptional community. Together, I am confident we will continue to provide outstanding opportunities for every student and ensure the Pierre School District remains a place where all learners can thrive.
I look forward to meeting you in the weeks and months ahead.
Go Govs!
Dr. Donavan DeBoer
Superintendent of Schools
