Dear Pirate Staff and Families,
I am excited to continue my journey in educational leadership here in Butte County. With over 20+ years in Idaho education, I bring a deep commitment to student success and a passion for supporting educators. I look forward to using this experience to work closely with our district principals and staff to strengthen learning opportunities and outcomes for every student.
As we move forward together, I am committed to partnering with the Board, staff, families, and the greater community to shape the future of Butte County Schools. Together, we will build on the district’s foundation to ensure:
*Engaging, inquiry-based instruction rich in hands-on learning that fosters curiosity and a love for learning;
*Highly effective, passionate educators who feel supported and valued in their work;
*Strong, collaborative leadership that unites the community;
*And most importantly, amazing students beaming with Pirate pride, confident in who they are and excited for what they will achieve..
Thank you for welcoming me into your community. I look forward to a fantastic year ahead.
Warm regards,
Jill Hettinger, EdD
Superintendent
Butte County Jt. School District
