The Heyworth School District welcomes in a new superintendent.

Dr. Ty Wolfe is coming to the Heyworth School District after being the Superintendent at Tonica School District. He also held that position in the Odell School District and is no stranger to the area. The new Hornet says  he is excited for the challenge of a larger school district.

Dr. Wolfe spent some time shadowing administrators in the school district before he took over. He says he has also sat in on meetings to meet some of the teachers and staff. He feels he is lucky to be able to get to know his staff before the school year begins.
