Dear Students, Parents, and Community Members,
Welcome to the 2025–2026 school year!
As we prepare to begin a new academic year, I want to take a moment to acknowledge the strength, resilience, and commitment that define the Taholah School District community. Whether you are a student stepping into a new grade, a parent supporting your child’s growth, or a community member cheering us on from beyond the classroom, your involvement and partnership are invaluable.
This year, we are not just opening our school doors — we are opening new opportunities, building brighter futures, and strengthening the bonds that unite us. Each school day offers a fresh chance to grow, to learn, and to build a community where every child is seen, supported, and empowered to succeed.
Our shared mission is simple and powerful: every student known, every student supported, and every student empowered. To bring this to life, our staff is committed to creating learning environments where students feel emotionally safe, academically challenged, and celebrated for who they are. We are equally committed to partnering with families and the broader community to ensure that learning doesn’t stop when the bell rings.
We are excited to deepen our connection with families through events such as Back-to-School Night, curriculum showcases, and student-led conferences. We also commit to clear and consistent communication through monthly updates, regular outreach, and an accessible staff directory available on our district website.
When schools and families work together, students thrive. And when a community comes together around its children, everyone benefits. We believe that by standing united — as educators, families, neighbors, and leaders — we can create a learning experience that is joyful, meaningful, and lasting.
Thank you for entrusting us with your children, supporting our schools, and believing in the promise of public education. Let’s make this a school year filled with growth, connection, and celebration. Together, we rise.
Kindest regards,
Superintendent Dr. Herman J. Lartigue, Jr.
Taholah School District #77
