Taking Applications for Assistant Superintendent

With both sorrow and joy in my heart I must report that Mike Turley will be leaving us at Stone Creek. I believe behind every good superintendent is an even better assistant.  Mike was every bit of that and then some. I am very excited for Mike as he accepts a partner position within a very successful family business. I will most certainly miss his hard work and the friendship we shared daily. I only lost a good assistant but our friendship will remain forever. I wish him all the joy and success in his new venture.


Needless to say, I am now accepting applications for a new assistant superintendent. The following is my official post for the position:
