From the Superintendent
Jefferson Township Public Schools
My educational philosophy and what you can expect from me in my role as your superintendent. I have always believed that ALL students can learn and thrive with the right support, challenge, and inspiration. To ensure we meet this vision, we will work together as partners to ensure all students have that opportunity. That starts with me. I believe in boots-on-the-ground leadership. In the coming months, you can trust that I will be visible and engaged in our students' education and present to support our school events.
– Mr. Scot Burkholder, Superintendent
