You have seen plenty of changes at Southern Door School District over the past year, and it is not just the new face in charge. Dr. Kevin Krutzik took the district's reins on July 1st after being named the superintendent in February. Krutzik carries with him a 19-year career in education to go along with his studies at Edgewood College, Silver Lake College, Marquette University, and Lakeland University. He served as a Principal at Sheboygan Falls High School, Assistant Principal at Fond du Lac School High School, Middle/High School Principal at Oshkosh Lourdes Academy, and Business & Information Technology Teacher and Interim Principal at Manitowoc Lincoln High School before his appointment. Krutzik has not just had to get used to new faces and names like everybody does when they switch jobs. He says he has been trying to get out in the community to talk to people and get their thoughts and some reminders along the way.
Krutzik has also had to navigate the final months of several referendum-related projects, including the construction of a new indoor turf gym and greenhouse. As the third Southern Door superintendent to oversee the improvements, he says it has been very exciting to be in his seat.
Southern Door students start the school year on September 3rd. At 4 p.m. on September 20th, the district will host a special ribbon-cutting ceremony to showcase the new Talon Community Fitness Center and other referendum projects. Following the ceremony, guests can check out the improvements before the homecoming football game against Peshtigo.
