Patrick Crowdis is down to his final two weeks serving as the superintendent of the Hoisington school district. This past spring, Crowdis announced his resignation which will go into place June 30. He spent time at June’s USD 431 Board of Education meeting thanking the board.
"I appreciate the support that I have received from the community," said Crowdis. "I just appreciate everything that has been accomplished over the last five years. You're an excellent board."
Crowdis served the district for five years, starting in July 2020. He resigned to pursue an opportunity to return to Dodge City Public Schools, where he served as an assistant principal at Dodge City High School before moving to Hoisington. Crowdis was named the Associate Superintendent of Business and Operations for USD 443 in Dodge City.
"I continue to tell people, hands down, I believe our administrative staff is as good as anybody out there," said Crowdis. "Those are the people I worked with directly. We have an excellent teaching staff. It's a great community. I appreciate the support that I was given. Thank you very much."
Trenton Horn was named the next superintendent for the Hoisington school district. Horn has spent the previous six years in Johnson City as the superintendent for USD 452 Stanton County Schools. Horn begins in Hoisington July 1.
