Dear Staff, Students, Families and Community Members:

I am very excited to have been appointed by your Board of Education as the new superintendent of the Spencer-Van Etten Central School District. I feel truly honored to be a member of this wonderful community and to help lead our school district.  I come to you from the Webster Central School District where I worked for 16 years as a high school teacher and in various administrative roles.  My wife Kim and I currently reside in Ontario, NY with our six children and various pets, we look forward to moving into the community as soon as our home is sold.    

Although it is summer there is a lot of activity happening at all of our schools.  The construction project is proceeding as scheduled and the majority of the work will be completed by the opening of school in September.  These are challenging times for all and I believe that working together as a community and school we will meet these challenges and provide our students with the opportunities they need to achieve their potential.  

My leadership style is collaborative and I believe that strong relationships are built on trust and trust is built by open communication and dialogue.  I encourage you to contact me if you have any concerns, questions, or suggestions.   It is our collective responsibility to ensure high academic and behavioral standards for all of our students and together we can create a school community that supports and nourishes our students growth.

 Respectfully,

 Joseph Morgan, Ed.D.
