Introducing our #CCSDFamily one director at a time...
Say hello to Rhea!
What do you enjoy most about your role?
"I love my role because it changes every day- my days are never the same. I am able to constantly learn something new, and then apply that knowledge in unique novel situations. In my position I'm able to welcome the littlest preschool students and families, and also wave goodbye when they graduate from high school programs like Project SEARCH. I enjoy helping others, and that's the most fulfilling part. Whether it involves a staff member, parent, or child- that's the most fulfilling part- making a difference."
Why CCSD?
"We moved to Clinton from Central Iowa, specifically for my position and to be closer to family. For us, Clinton is a big city from where we were before! I have four children: Steffen, Luke, Mia, and Isaac who are involved in many activities. We love to travel, but probably our favorite thing to do is kayak on the Mississippi.
I am passionate about CCSD not only because of how dedicated our staff are, but also for the depth of our academic and extracurricular programs offered. We often have parents open enroll their children to our district because of our Talented and Gifted (TAG) or special education programs. I've had many parents comment to me over the years that their children are so welcomed by our staff- that they're treated like family. Having two children attend in the district, I've seen this first-hand myself. And I can't wait for my two to get into our high school where there are so many college credit courses offered, that they can essentially earn two years worth of college before they even graduate. CCSD has much to be proud of."

Say hello to Kayla!
What do you enjoy most about your role?
"I enjoy so many aspects of my role, but the people are at the top of my list. The Nutrition Services staff are hard-working, dedicated individuals that make my job easier. I truly love what I do and they make coming to work enjoyable."
Why CCSD?
"The kids! I love being able to serve the students in our community. Nearly 1 in 6 children in Iowa face hunger, so providing them with nutritious meals during the school day is important to me."

Say hello to Paul!
What do you enjoy most about your role?
"For me, it's the challenge of and satisfaction of providing service and care for one of our communities largest assets in our district's buildings and grounds. Everything that our department does, makes a significant difference for students, staff, or the public."
Why CCSD?
"Personally being parents of students that have come all the way from K-12 and being part of extracurricular activities at CCSD created a closer bond for me with the district. It has helped me understand why it's important to look at needs from all angles and create a good working relationship with staff to come up with solutions for the hurdles we come across."
