Tom Korst - Garfield Superintendent/Principal

Dear Garfield Families and Community Members,
It is an honor to serve the students, staff, and families of Garfield School District. Each day, I am thrilled about the support we receive from the Garfield community.
This year, we are focused on continuing to provide high-quality, innovative instructional opportunities tailored to meet the unique needs of our students and families. Our goal is to ensure that every child feels supported, challenged, and inspired, whether in the classroom, on the playground, in the arts, or through extracurricular activities.
We are also expanding access to early learning, strengthening our music and middle school programs, and enhancing student support systems. These initiatives reflect our shared belief that every student deserves the opportunity to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally in a safe and caring environment.
I want to thank our incredible staff, families, and community partners for your continued dedication and collaboration. Together, we are building a learning culture where curiosity is encouraged, differences are valued, and success is defined by growth and perseverance.
Thank you for your continued trust and partnership. I look forward to all we will accomplish together this year.
Warm regards,
Tom Korst Ed.D.
Superintendent/Principal
Garfield School District
