Superintendent Giffing

Welcome to the 2025–2026 School Year!

I am thrilled to be starting my second year at Otis Schools as there is so much to look forward to! From enriching classroom experiences to extracurricular opportunities, community events, and school spirit traditions—we’re gearing up for a year filled with fun, learning, and connection.

This year feels especially energizing. Our district enters the year with strong momentum—thanks to the dedication of our staff, the resilience of our students, and the ongoing support from our community. Together, we’re building something truly special here at Otis.

One of the things we are most excited about this year is welcoming new staff members to our team. Each brings fresh ideas, energy, and passion for helping our students succeed, and they join an already outstanding group of educators and support staff who are dedicated to making our school a great place to learn and grow.

We are also thrilled to introduce our new food services program! Students will notice fresh, appealing menu options and consistent quality in the meals provided each day. We know that good nutrition supports good learning, and we’re proud to be offering meals that will fuel both the body and the mind.

Of course, one of the very best parts of a new school year is seeing our campus come alive with students—both familiar faces returning and new ones joining us for the first time. We are so happy to welcome each of you. Whether this is your first year walking our halls or your senior year preparing to take your next steps, you are an important part of our Bulldog family.

As BULLDOGS we are full of PRIDE, ENTHUSIASM, have STRONG RELATIONSHIPS, STRONG RESULTS and a sense of BELONGING.

WE ARE BULLDOG STRONG!

Have a great year!
