Dear Sand Creek Community,

As I near the end of my time here at Sand Creek Schools, I find myself reflecting with deep gratitude on my time as an Aggie. Serving this school district has been a great experience, and I will forever be grateful for the opportunity given to me 26 years ago.

I could not have anticipated at that time where this opportunity would lead. My family was quickly accepted into this great community and we soon began feeling like true Sand Creek Aggies. Through the years, I was given opportunities to grow, to lead, and to serve in new ways. Each role deepened my understanding of this district and strengthened my belief in the importance of public education and community.

From the very beginning, it was clear that Sand Creek is more than just a school district—it is a community rooted in pride, resilience, and a shared commitment to doing what is best for kids. I have had the privilege of working alongside dedicated teachers, support staff, administrators, and board members who show up each day with a clear sense of purpose: to ensure that every student is supported, challenged, and cared for. This privilege enabled me to grow and learn from many of these dedicated staff, administrators and board members - of which I consider some of the very best!

Sand Creek Schools is a special place full of dedicated staff and parents. As I move into the next chapter, I do so with full confidence in the future of Sand Creek Community Schools. The foundation is strong, the leadership is committed, and the focus remains exactly where it should be—on students and their success.

Thank you for trusting me, supporting me, and allowing me to be part of this incredible community. It has truly been a privilege to serve as your superintendent.

As always - Go Aggies!!

Sharon Smith, Superintendent
