Superintendent Swanson was pleased we were selected to share our proactive approach to dealing with truancy and attendance problems during a recent statewide gathering of educators.

Whether it’s sports, spelling, science, performing or visual arts, our students have access to an amazing number of opportunities to enrich their lives outside the classroom.

WPS is hard at work on next year’s budget. It puts as many resources as possible in the classroom.

Delivering her final State of the District report, Superintendent Pam Swanson said Westminster Public Schools has come a long way since she was named Superintendent in 2011.

The ABC’s of WPS: ALWAYS BE RECRUITING is a phrase I often share with my staff when I am talking about both staff and students.

The Thanksgiving Holiday has always meant a lot to me because it taps into one of my favorite life lessons and a message that I try to share with others: “Live your life, with an Attitude of Gratitude.”

When we first envisioned the showcase, we never imagined how successful it would become.

In a unanimous vote, the Westminster Public Schools Board of Education agreed to a four-year Superintendent contract for Deputy Superintendent Jeni Gotto to take effect when she becomes leader of the district on July 1, 2024.

Our journey has been a team effort and I am so grateful for the support we have received from the community, our Board of Education, our staff, teachers and students.

Dr. Gotto's selection follows a decision by the board to seek an internal candidate who is well versed in competency-based education and committed to the shared vision, core values and principles of Westminster Public Schools.

I am back at full strength and energized to help our team continue to offer the best possible education to our students.
