Preparing Students for College and Career

Gibbon Public Schools is constantly focused on successfully preparing our students for life after high school.   Accomplishing this meaningful task requires school districts to continuously examine current practices and determine if those practices reflect what is occurring in the real-world.   We are looking at increasing academic and behavioral expectations, redesigning courses required for graduation, and connecting our curriculum to real-world experiences to determine if these experiences truly prepare students for life after high school.

Supts On - Dr. Vernon Fisher

My name is Vernon Fisher and I am the very proud superintendent of Gibbon Public Schools.  In partnership with the “Clipper,” Gibbon Public Schools would like to establish a monthly column for the primary purpose of sharing information with our constituents.   Supts On is intended to serve as a direct source of information from the superintendent of schools to our wonderful community with the ultimate goal of generating a two-way dialogue between you and your school district.  One strategy that will help us achieve this goal is through the use of a blog. This first Supts On focuses on communication and emphasizes our efforts to improve the level of information shared with you on a consistent basis.  Communication is always a difficult concept, and although schools work hard at communicating with their stakeholders, achieving perfection is tough to achieve.  The questions of what information should be shared, what method of communication should be used to provide information, how
