Teresa Rensch, PhD
Superintendent
— St. Maries
Hello!
I have spent my whole career pursuing and supporting education. I have been a teacher, an elementary and secondary principal, and a director of curriculum and instruction—and I am really pleased to join your district as the superintendent. I believe education is the best gift we can give students, families, the community, and even society.
As superintendent, my goal is to be a resource for the staff, parents, and students of St. Maries School District. I support St. Maries’ current aims of improving students' academic levels, supporting vocational programs, and hiring/retaining qualified people in all necessary positions, including transportation, teaching, and food service. These are all familiar challenges that I care a lot about.
I look forward to working with board members, staff members, and community members to make sure our families and students have what they need to thrive.
