Welcome from the Superintendent of Schools
Welcome to the Ada-Borup
Public Schools, home of the Ada-Borup
Cougars. It
is my hope that you are able to find helpful information here – if you
do not find what you are looking for or need more information, feel free
to contact a staff member in any of our offices.
I have a tremendous
appreciation for the quality of education provided by this district and
staff. The menu and quality of
opportunities and services offered to students, reputation of the school
district, exciting initiatives already taking place, promising future of
the district, and the Ada-Borup communities in general are all positive
attributes of the Ada-Borup Public Schools. I
am thrilled, grateful, and humbled to be the Superintendent of Schools
of such a fine school district!
Education as many of us
know it is changing. Students
may not learn how we learned. Today’s
generation of learners need to participate in activities that challenge
and engage them, that help them develop important life skills, and that
prepare them for the next step in their development – whatever that may
be. A new focus on career and
college readiness from our state officials is an exciting opportunity
for us.
Ada-Borup Public Schools
mission is “to
educate and prepare all students for a successful tomorrow through
academics, activities, arts and attitude." Continuing
strides towards our mission and the district’s vision "to
become the finest school district in NW MN and maintain a high level of
expectations for student achievement” will
require a continued focus on collaboration, communication, and
commitment. It will take the
entire community for our students and the district to be successful. Our
mission, vision, and strategic plan will continue to serve as an
important part of what we do and how we do it…our roadmap, if you will.
If you have questions or want
to share your ideas, please do not hesitate to contact me at (218)
784-5312 or

. Thank you for your interest in our school district and
GO COUGARS!!
