A Letter from Fr. Dave Korth
Dear Friends of CUES,
It is an exciting time to be a part of CUES!
The creation of a school system for our three schools is the result of so many good people deciding that the time had come to be more intentional and proactive in the lives of our students and their families. With new governance, we are now able to better leverage the expertise of lay leaders with experience in academia to implement best practices, wise policy, and to share resources. We are so grateful to our Board of Governors, our three principals, and, of course, to our fine staffs in each of our buildings, for all that they have done to improve our schools!
We are also grateful that their decisions have resulted in smart investments to help our students and families. We have increased our teacher salaries and are using technology to help with an entirely new classroom model. In addition, we have hired Jim Swanson to be the Director of Student and Family Support for our system. Jim helps to provide our students and families with additional wrap-around services. Not only does Jim free our teachers to focus on teaching, he helps us serve the needs of the whole student by addressing both their individual needs and the needs of his/her family.
But more than anything, this new system has allowed us to focus more on the culture of our CUES schools. We came up with the following culture statement: “The CUES School System is rooted in Catholic faith and values. We share God’s love, kindness, and excellence.” My day is filled with stories of how our leadership, teachers, students, and families consciously bring this statement to life.
Gratefully,
Fr. David Korth
President, CUES School System
