Vilas School District RE-5

Vilas High School students had an incredible trip to Liberal, Kansas, where they explored the educational opportunities at Seward County Community College and visited the Mid-America Air Museum. It was amazing to see the range of post-secondary options and trades available, showcasing the ultimate potential for hands-on learning and career development. And a quick stop for a equipment part for a local farmer rewarded the students with a new hat from Keating!

We are so excited to have her join our little awesome Vilas family as she will be a great addition! Please see Shiva's Introduction Letter below. As we embark on a new academic year at Vilas School District, I am excited to join you as your Principal and Counselor. I bring 15 years of experience as a teacher and administrator in Texas, Florida, and Arkansas. This diverse background has given me a broad educational perspective and a deep commitment to fostering student success. I am in awe of Vilas School District Staff and their dedication to providing guidance, resources, and support to help students thrive. My mantra is simple: Strive for Excellence. Every student has the potential to achieve greatness, and it is our collective responsibility to help them realize their full potential. I expect students to approach their studies with dedication, determination, and a growth mindset. Personal responsibility and respect are fundamental values that foster a positive and inclusive environment. On a personal note, I am also a parent. Sami, my 2-year-old daughter, has added another layer of passion to my work in education. Being a mother gives me a deep appreciation for the trust you place in our school district. The 2024-2025 school year will be filled with opportunities for growth, achievement, and memorable experiences. Let us embrace challenges and celebrate successes together. I look forward to meeting you and wish you a remarkable school year ahead! Shiva Fisher Principal/Counselor Vilas School District RE-5 shiva@vilask12.org 501-644-4100
