About Rosalia School District

Rosalia School District is a close-knit, student-centered community serving approximately 150 students in a single, well-maintained facility. The building features distinct wings for elementary, middle, and high school students, creating a structured and supportive learning environment at every stage. Recent modernization efforts have enhanced infrastructure and technology, positioning the district for future growth.

The district operates under the leadership of a two-member administrative team consisting of a Superintendent/Principal and a Business Manager, with additional support from an on-site, part-time Dean of Students. Students benefit from small class sizes, dedicated educators, and strong community engagement. Athletically, Rosalia partners with the neighboring Tekoa School District in a successful two-way sports cooperative, providing students with expanded opportunities for participation and competition.

Financially stable and well-supported, Rosalia School District maintains a strong fiscal foundation. The district has successfully passed all school and capital project levies, ensuring continued investment in education, safety, infrastructure, and technology. Historically, Rosalia has never lost a bond election or experienced a double levy loss – an ongoing testament to the community’s unwavering commitment to its schools. This support extends beyond funding, with parents and community members actively involved in student success both inside and outside the classroom.

This is an exciting opportunity to lead a district that values innovation, collaboration, and the long-term success of its students.
