Integrity, innovation, community, responsibility, empathy, and resilience are the core values of Maize USD 266. Even in times when the world seems unpredictable and all of us, school districts included, are navigating new scenarios and challenges, these are the values that guide our decisions and direction. For years, the district has embraced its approach to work together as OneMa1ze with a shared focus toward common goals. With this in mind, we celebrate unity within the district and school community with the understanding that we are stronger and better together As a lifelong Kansan and a career educator who values integrity and is solutions-oriented, I am excited to share with you just a few ways we are putting each of these core values into action.
