New Podcast: Built To Support!
Chief Information Officer Jerome Hilsher, Chief Financial Officer Deb Farver, and Chief Operations Officer Mark Moss have teams working behind the scenes to support our buildings, staff, and students. Great schools are built by many people working together, and not all of them are in the classroom. Listen to We Are Ankeny on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Amazon Music/Audible.

The first day looks a little different in every building — but the excitement is the same!

This morning at Southview Middle School, eighth and ninth graders were welcomed by Principal Dr. Kevin Biggs and the Southview staff.

Dr. Biggs encouraged ninth graders to continue being the kind, respectful and fun classmates they were last year while welcoming the newest members of the Southview community.

Just one glimpse of the first-day energy happening across Ankeny Schools!

Ankeny Stadium is ready for another season of exciting events!

As construction on the Ankeny Innovation Hub continues, parking around the stadium and Northview Middle School will look a little different for athletic events and activities this fall.

With new parking areas added and additional options identified, we’ve been working to make attending events at the stadium as convenient as possible.

Check out the parking map below for available parking options and access points.

For complete information, including a list of surrounding businesses that have generously agreed to share their parking spaces with stadium visitors, visit our website: https://www.ankenyschools.org/news/2026/08/stadium-parking-update-for-fall-activities/

Thank you for your patience and flexibility as construction continues—and for helping us make Ankeny Stadium a welcoming place for our entire community!
