Dr. Colleen Moran, Superintendent of the North Montgomery School Corporation, spoke to the Crawfordsville Kiwanis Club on Thursday, March 2, 2023. Dr. Moran addressed a variety of topics related to the North Montgomery School Corporation, including recent successes, ongoing challenges, and plans for the future.
Her experience began as a 4th grade teacher and her dedication to the Early Learning program at North Montgomery are certainly noteworthy achievements. Graduating the first students who started in the program 15 years ago is a testament to the success of the program and the commitment of the district to providing a strong foundation for students from an early age. It’s great to see educators who are passionate about their work and making a difference in the lives of their students.
During her speech, Dr. Moran highlighted the district’s commitment to providing a high-quality education to all students, regardless of their backgrounds or circumstances. She emphasized the importance of preparing students for success in college and career, as well as instilling in them a sense of civic responsibility and community involvement.
Dr. Moran also discussed several recent initiatives and accomplishments within the district, including the implementation of a new technology plan, the expansion of the district’s dual credit program, and the renovation of several school facilities. She credited the hard work and dedication of district staff, students, and families for these successes.
Dr. Moran concluded her speech by expressing her optimism for the future of the North Montgomery School Corporation, stating that “with hard work, collaboration, and a shared commitment to our students’ success, we can overcome any obstacle and continue to provide the high-quality education that our students deserve.”
