COVID-19 DISTRICT COMMUNICATIONS
Welcome aboard, Mark Jenson!
Detroit Lakes Public Schools is pleased to welcome Mr. Mark Jenson, its new Superintendent of Schools.
Mr. Jenson takes the helm on July 1, 2020.
Below is a brief “bio” provided by Mr. Jenson:
My passion for education is the reason I am here as Superintendent of Detroit Lakes Public Schools. I have over 28 years of experience in the world of public education that ranges from being an English teacher, assistant principal, and principal. To this day, however, I still consider myself a teacher. As I begin my 29th year in education and now serving in the role of your new Superintendent, I find my passion for education at an all-time high. I am so excited to begin my work here as I get to know more people in the district and the community. I am quickly learning what a great place the District is to come to work. I am continuously impressed with the professionalism, vision, and hard work that I have seen thus far in those I have met who also work in the District. I am looking forward to being a part of such a great team.
My family has had a lake home in the area for many years and I have been fortunate to spend many summer days in the Detroit Lakes area. As I have grown older, I have come to realize that this is where I want to eventually end up. I am so blessed to have this opportunity and will work very hard to continue the rich tradition of excellence that is Detroit Lakes Public Schools. Detroit Lakes is truly a remarkable community and I am looking forward to getting to work.
Sails up!
