Welcome to the School District of McFarland!

It is truly an honor to serve as the district administrator of a school district that is so committed to meeting the needs of every learner every day by both supporting and challenging our students. Our dedicated, talented, and highly professional staff feels fortunate to serve students in a community that is so invested in education. Our district is known for many wonderful things, but here a few of the most significant:

• We have unique and powerfully collaborative relationships between community members, families, staff, students, and our school board.  
• We educate the whole child by helping them grow as learners and people who are curious, critical thinkers, collaborators, resilient, and empathetic. 
• The school district is the heart of the community and a source of great pride; yet, we are continuously improving in pursuit of creating a more equitable and inclusive community that is committed to student belonging, achievement, and growth.
• The size of the district results in the creation of strong relationships with each student while providing them with access to a variety of courses, fine arts, co-curricular activities, and experiences in and outside of the classroom. 
• Each school provides a healthy, respectful environment for each and every student whom we serve in facilities that are modern and well maintained.

I encourage you to follow us on our social media pages and my “Tarnutzer’s Travels” as I visit places throughout the district. 

Thank you for choosing McFarland!
