I am thrilled to welcome you to Big Lake Schools, where a commitment to excellence is not just a goal, but a proud tradition. Not only do I feel incredibly blessed to work alongside the remarkable individuals in our district, but our community's strength and commitment to excellence is unwavering, and it’s this shared vision that motivates me to come to work every day—I don't want to let any of them down.
Education has been a constant in my life—first as a student, then as a teacher, and now as an administrator. My path to becoming a superintendent was influenced by my father, a dedicated math teacher who wished he had ventured into administration. His words and my own reflection led me to make district administration my career goal.
As your superintendent, my primary goal is to support and amplify our district's strengths while addressing areas that need improvement. The complexity of a school district can pose challenges, but with the incredible support of our dedicated staff and community, we have been on a trajectory of growth. We are tirelessly working to continue this upward momentum in the years to come.
Our Big Lake community is unique—a blend of hardworking individuals who care deeply about one another. There's a sense of togetherness, a spirit of celebration, and a dedication to creating an environment that fosters growth. This community is the heart of what makes our school district special. It’s this that sets the foundation of a great school culture, one that is stronger together; that through this growth and change can continue to provide and enhance numerous opportunities for our students and our community.
Together, with the outstanding individuals in our district, I am confident that we will continue to thrive, celebrate successes, and create an environment where education flourishes. Welcome to a community where excellence is not just strived for—it's lived every day.
—Superintendent Truebenbach
