Superintendent's Welcome

Dr. Joe Childs - Superintendent

Welcome to the Mitchell School District’s online platform! We’re pleased with our strong tradition of academic excellence, extracurricular offerings, and the incredible support we receive from our community. You can really feel that commitment every time our Kernels step into their classrooms or compete in events. Thanks to the encouragement from family, friends, and everyone around us, our Kernel team is dedicated to inspiring our students to put in the hard work for their continued success!

As the superintendent, I’m truly excited to welcome you and assure you that my focus is on making the Mitchell School District a place where students, educators, and families can thrive. We’re also lucky to have Mitchell Technical Institute and Dakota Wesleyan University right here in our community, showcasing our dedication to lifelong learning. The partnership between our district and these institutions is strengthened by the fantastic support we get from a community that truly embodies Kernel Pride!
