"A couple members of maintenance came into my room with Mr. Dunn to work on an air vent. Mr. Dunn helped one of my students with her reading activity because he saw her struggling. It was a moment I really appreciated because both myself and my assistant were teaching groups at our tables, so we were unable to help her. I really appreciate the 'all hands on deck' feeling at Danville!"
"Our amazing custodians make wonderful connections with students and staff kids! My kids no longer attend Hogsett, but Mr. Jerry always interacts with them."
"I love the diversity and the fact that we are small enough to have very close relationships top to bottom, but large enough to provide great opportunities. DISD is home. Go Ads and Bulldogs!"
- Clint Followell, Staff member and Caregiver, Central Office/District-wide
"I love the diversity and the fact that our students are encouraged to learn through hands-on, real life experiences, like Intersession. This is my 17th year working in schools, and I've never worked in one that did Intersession until now."
"To put it as simply as possible, it is because we can be impactful. Our school district is one of only a few that I know of where every staff member can know each other in the district. Every teacher can know the names of the students in their schools. We are uniquely poised to be impactful, not just in the classroom for our students, but in the lives of each other."
-Nic Senak, Staff member, Central Office/Districtwide
"I chose to work for Danville Schools because of the incredible diversity and the strong sense of community among the staff. The employees here go above and beyond to support students and each other, creating an inspiring and collaborative environment. It's also a special experience for me to return to the district where I grew up and work alongside some of my former teachers, who continue to be great mentors and role models."
"Danville Schools meets the students where they are and helps build them up. The social emotional aspect of learning is there with the academics. Student confidence is blossoming."
"Danville Schools has always been rich in tradition. As an alum, I vividly remember my time at Danville, and now as a teacher, I get the opportunity to instill that same tradition in my students. Being part of Danville and experiencing that sense of pride is something I will forever be grateful for! Go Ads!"
"I love Danville Schools because our students have positive daily exposure to learning activities that help build teamwork, academic stamina, multimedia integration, empathy, and rigor. They are also exposed to all content areas everyday!"
