South Fork School District had a successful start to their school year with new goals, points of focus, and even some building renovations. Chris Clark is entering his 5th year as Superintendent for the South Fork School District and says the sounds of students in the halls have not gotten old. The South Fork Junior and Senior High School are sporting new air conditioning and heating units that are up and running. Clark says week one got off to a “hot start."

Administration and staff have some new goals for the 2023-2024 school year. Superintendent Chris Clark has taken recommendations as South Fork Schools have been noticed as a targeted school for improvement. Attendance for the junior and senior high schools needed to be addressed and the curriculum for math and reading will be revisited. Clark Sees the needs of the students and is meeting them with action to ensure the success of South Fork Schools.

To combat frequent truancy, Clark and his staff will be taking a personalized approach to understand and help students who are missing out on education, by reaching out to parents or guardians. Clark describes the unique opportunity he has as a superintendent of a small school district like South Fork. Being a graduate of South Fork School District himself, parents and the local community are familiar with Clark, making the process of getting that child back into the classroom a little easier.

Clark has heard the needs of the South Fork School District and now looks to utilize his personal connections with students and the small community of learners to keep students in the classroom and learning to the best of their ability.
