EDMOND, Okla. ( KFOR ) — On Friday, Edmond Public Schools Superintendent Angela Grunewald announced her retirement.
In a message on Edmond Public Schools website Grunewald says she used the time to reflect over Winter Break, saying:
Edmond Families,
As we prepare to return to school next week, I am writing today to share some personal news. After deep, personal reflection over Winter Break, I have decided to retire at the end of this school year.
I love this district, our students and staff members deeply. I have enjoyed my 17 years in Edmond immensely. My love and devotion for our district has fueled my desire to lead EPS. Serving as your superintendent has been the highlight of my career. I continue to have so many dreams for this district to help us better serve students. I have no doubt that many of those dreams will come to fruition, just under the next leader.
The Edmond School Board will begin their superintendent search immediately. I’m confident that a leader equally or even more passionate about education and Edmond Schools will be found. EPS has a strong, dedicated district leadership team and the site administrators who are in place. This district will be in good hands.
I cannot wait to see our students back in the classroom next Tuesday, and I look forward to the second semester. It has been my pleasure and honor to serve as the Superintendent of Edmond Public Schools.
Thank you all for your continued support and partnership.
Angela Grunewald, Edmond Public Schools Superintendent
