President's Note: June 2025

By Peggy Hassler, President of the Mehlville Board of Education

On behalf of the Mehlville Board of Education, congratulations to the Class of 2025! We’re so proud of everything you’ve achieved and even more excited to see where life takes you next, the futures you’ll shape and the difference you’ll make.

To our students, families, staff and community members – thank you for making this another remarkable year. Your support, dedication and partnership are what makes Mehlville a strong, vibrant and caring district.

This year, we reached an important milestone: Every school in our district now has a secure front entrance, an essential safety improvement made possible by our community’s support through Prop S. These enhancements reflect our ongoing commitment to the well-being of every student and staff member.

After another successful year, we would like to recognize the incredible work of every Mehlville School District employee. Whether you’re ensuring students arrive safely each day, preparing meals, maintaining our facilities, offering essential healthcare, leading schools, teaching in classrooms, or supporting the many daily operations that keep our district running – your dedication drives our collective success. We are deeply grateful for the commitment you show every day.

We also want to extend our heartfelt thanks to the Mehlville community. Your support, especially through the passage of Prop E, has made it possible for us to enhance employee compensation. This investment allows us to continue attracting and retaining the dedicated professionals who have such a meaningful impact on the lives of our students.

Looking ahead

Throughout the year, the Strategic Plan Steering Committee has been actively gathering input to shape Mehlville’s next five-year Strategic Plan. We appreciate everyone who has participated and strongly encourage continued community feedback in the months ahead. Numerous opportunities to get involved will arise, and your participation is vital to this important process. We sincerely hope you will lend your voice.

Looking toward 2025-2026, we invite families to visit our website for updated calendars and back-to-school information. We’re excited to welcome everyone back in August for another successful year.

Thank you for being such an important part of our school community. We appreciate your continued support and wish you a safe, restful and awesome summer!
