Mary Vogt calls her journey to the Superintendency in Bement one that has come full circle.

The Champaign native began her career in education briefly outside of Piatt County. When her youngest daughter entered school, she came to the Monticello district in White Heath, and in her final year in Monticello, her daughter graduated. 

As Vogt transitions to the role of Superintendent, she is learning there is quite a difference in starting the school year as a building administrator versus the district administrator. She explains there is a lot more to keep track of and she is learning to rely on her administrative team.

According to Vogt, the support of the community and the future outlook of Bement Schools has her motivated to continue the good things happening and continue to make the district stronger.

Vogt calls herself extremely fortunate that the students of her district are all on one campus and if she leaves her office, it's likely she's going to run into those students that she got into education to serve.
