Letter From the Superintendent

Kristin Perkowski, Superintendent


A Warm Welcome and Excited Beginnings


It is with great enthusiasm and a profound sense of responsibility that I join this exceptional community of educators, administrators, and support staff dedicated to fostering the academic and personal growth of our students.

First, let me extend my heartfelt gratitude for the warm welcome I have already received. The commitment and passion evident in our district is truly inspiring, and I am eager to work alongside such a talented and dedicated team. Together, with our students, families and community, we will continue to build on the strong foundation already in place, ensuring that every student has access to the highest quality education and the opportunity to reach their fullest potential.

A little about myself: I bring decades of experience in education, having served in various roles including high school teacher and coach, building administrator at every level, District Curriculum Director, Executive Director of Student Achievement, and currently as an Associate Superintendent. Throughout my career, I have always prioritized collaborative leadership, innovative thinking, and a student-centered approach. I firmly believe that the best outcomes are achieved when we work together, harnessing the many strengths and perspectives within our community.

It is an honor to join Grand Haven Area Public Schools, and I am excited about all that we will accomplish together. Go Bucs!

Yours in Education,

Kristin M. Perkowski
