New Staff Information

The McKenzie County Public School District #1 welcomes all new employees to the school district. We are a growing and vibrant school district that has expanded its professional staff to over 150 employees from a total of 45 ten years ago. A vast majority of our staff have been employed by the school district for less than three years; we are a school district that is accustomed to working with new staff as we have a diverse staff of new and veteran teachers willing to help our new teachers transition to the school district. We are constantly trying to find ways to improve the process for new teachers transitioning to our school district; this webpage is an effort to put information in one location and to make this process more effective and efficient for our new and recently hired teachers. Welcome to our school district and the Wolves family!
