Dexter, Missouri - A large crowd came out to the Bearcat Event Center to welcome new superintendent Mitch Wood. Dexter residents had an opportunity to meet and introduce themselves to Dexter Public Schools' newest leader.
Wood’s official first day of employment was July 1, 2015.
Kevin Bishop, President of Dexter’s School Board, introduced Mr. Wood to a large crowd and thanked everyone for coming out and visiting.
Wood spoke to everyone and said that he was dedicated to Dexter schools and though he has worn “blue” for 23 years, he does like the color red. The crowd chuckled and clapped! He also said there would be a few changes and his door was always open.
He has received a very warm welcome from Dexter and anticipates visiting every school building several times throughout his first months.
He thanked everyone for coming and also introduced his wife, Shawn.
Welcome to Dexter Mr. & Mrs. Wood. The community is extremely excited to have you!
Dexter School Registration begins on August 4th from 9:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. at the Bearcat Event Center.Shown in the photo are Mitch Wood and his wife, Shawn.
