Dear Semitropic Community,
As we begin the 2026–27 school year, I am honored to continue serving as Superintendent of the Semitropic School District. I remain grateful to our Board of Trustees for their continued support and for the opportunity to lead this incredible district.
Over the past two years, we have made meaningful progress together by strengthening instruction, expanding student supports, and building a culture of high expectations and continuous improvement. As we look ahead, our focus remains the same—ensuring that every student receives a high-quality education and the support they need to succeed.
At Semitropic School District, we are committed to academic excellence by providing rigorous instruction, maintaining safe and nurturing learning environments, and building strong partnerships with families and the community. Together, we will continue to support the whole child while creating opportunities for every student to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
I deeply value the relationships we have built with our teachers, staff, students, families, and community partners. Open communication and collaboration remain priorities, and I encourage you to share your ideas, questions, or concerns as we work together to provide the best possible educational experience for our students.
Thank you for your continued trust, partnership, and support. I look forward to an outstanding 2026–27 school year filled with learning, growth, and achievement.
Sincerely,
Dr. Wendy Castaneda
Superintendent
Semitropic School District
