It is with a full heart and bittersweet emotion that I share my decision to retire from the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation, effective July 1, 2025. This school year marks my 43rd year with EVSC and my 14th year as superintendent. Reflecting on this journey, I am filled with gratitude for the countless experiences and relationships that have shaped my professional and personal life.
After much prayer and thoughtful consideration, I feel it is the right time to take this step. What I will miss most is you - witnessing the incredible dedication and passion you bring to your work each day. Your tireless commitment to our students, families, and community has been my greatest source of inspiration and pride.
Over the next six months, I look forward to continuing to work alongside you to support our students and ensure a smooth transition. I have every confidence in the EVSC Board of School Trustees to select a leader who will honor our mission and guide this exceptional organization into the future.
Thank you for the privilege of serving with you and for the unwavering dedication you bring to our shared purpose. Together, we have achieved so much, and I will always carry these memories and accomplishments close to my heart.
David Smith, EVSC Superintendent
