Welcome!

Welcome to Kerkhoven-Murdock-Sunburg (KMS) Public Schools! As principal, I am proud to be part of a school community that is dedicated to the success and well-being of every student. Our mission—Working as One in the Pursuit of Excellence—guides everything we do.

At KMS, we believe that education is a partnership, and that parent involvement plays a crucial role in a child’s academic and personal growth. We strive to foster positive relationships that support high-quality learning in an environment that is safe, nurturing, and respectful for all.

Our district and community value a positive school climate, one that is strengthened by small class sizes and a strong sense of connection. We are committed to building meaningful partnerships among students, families, educators, and the wider community to ensure every learner feels supported and empowered.

We also believe that high expectations are essential to achieving excellence. That’s why we offer a comprehensive educational program designed to help all students reach their full potential—both in academics and in character.

Whether you have children in our school or are simply a resident of our district, you play an important role in the success of KMS Public Schools. Thank you for everything you do.

Sincerely,
Chad Christianson
7-12 Principal
Kerkhoven-Murdock-Sunburg Public Schools
