Superintendent's Welcome

 Superintendent’s Welcome

Thank you for visiting the Web site of the Fort Dodge Community School District. As our Web site continues to be developed, you will find pages that take you inside our Fort Dodge School District buildings and classrooms. I invite you to check back often as this site expands and gives you the opportunity to see the outstanding work of our students and staff.

I am fortunate to be the superintendent in a community that strongly values public education. Our patrons have high expectations for the school district and are committed to providing students with the best available resources. This commitment results in a safe and thriving learning environment. Our district provides students with a wide variety of programs and extra-curricular activities. We have a wonderful partnership with Iowa Central Community College, in which our students can graduate high school with numerous college credits already under their belts.  I am confident your sons and daughters will find their niche in our schools, so as they graduate, they will be prepared to succeed in the world of higher education and professional employment.  We are excited about the things we are able to do for our nearly 4,000 Fort Dodge Community School District students, and we are blessed to work in a supportive community in which education is held in high regard.    Sincerely, Douglas G. Van Zyl Superintendent Fort Dodge Community School District
