Superintendent
Welcome to Ypsilanti Community Schools.
The past few years have brought unprecedented changes to how education is delivered and experienced. These have been unusual and challenging school years, requiring flexibility, resilience, and care from everyone involved. Throughout it all, we have worked diligently to provide a safe, supportive, and engaging learning environment for our students and a safe workplace for our staff.
We are deeply grateful to our families and community for your continued partnership, patience, and shared commitment to doing what is best for our students. Your support has made a meaningful difference, and together, we continue to move forward—stronger together.
