Dear Residents of the School District of Florence County –

As I begin my tenure as interim Superintendent of the Florence County School District for the 2023 –2024 school year, I am excited and looking forward to this opportunity. Having served as a Superintendent of Schools in Wisconsin for many years, I have a deep understanding of the educational process and a great deal of respect and admiration as I have watched communities rally around their children to provide them with the best education possible.

I look forward to working with our staff, students, the School Board, and the community throughout the 2023 – 2024 school year, as we work together and combine our efforts to assist every child with their learning. The school year will begin for school staff on Monday, August 21st. The first day for students will be Monday, August 28th. As you are aware, there are many extra-curricular activities sponsored by the school district throughout the year. Whether you have children currently attending our schools or not, I encourage you to attend these activities. We welcome you and look forward to meeting you as we embark on what we believe will be a very successful school year.

If you have any questions or if I can be of assistance to you at any time, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Joe Innis Superintendent

Hello and welcome Florence Bobcats,

 My name is Karl Morrin and I am proud to be your new District Administrator.  I am a native of Washburn, Wisconsin and loved growing up on the shores of Lake Superior.  I graduated from UW-Superior (1995) with a B.S. in Physical Education minoring in Health Education, Adaptive Physical Education and Coaching.  I taught physical education for 13 years in Laona, Valders and Chilton. I received my Masters from Marian University in Fond du Lac (2006).   I am starting my 13th year as a school administrator, working in Suring, Manawa and Menominee Indian.  

During my 25 years of education, I have been very involved in my communities as well as coaching many sports, such as basketball, football, track and volleyball.  Right now I serve as a member of the WIAA Board of Control.  I have two sons Marshall and Jackson, who both attend UW-LaCrosse.  When I am not working, I enjoy sporting events, movies, being at the lake and being with family.

 As your new administrator, I plan to embrace all that the School District of Florence Country has to offer,  not only our students but our community.  The district has a rich tradition in academics, athletics and other extracurricular activities, not to mention one of the top Fab Labs in the state!  I look forward to embracing all that Florence has to offer and continuing the goal of Positively Affecting the Lives of Children.

 We Positively Affect the Lives of Children by providing opportunities that expose students to a variety of academic and extra-curricular offerings. I want our students to have the best experience possible in and out of the classroom.  Working with the dedicated staff here, I know we can make Florence a place where everybody can feel right at home.

 If there is anything specific you are looking for or would like to know more of, please contact me directly at  morrink@myflorence.org and I’ll promptly reply or direct you to the individual who can best help you.

  

Yours in Education,
