(KNZA)-- The new school year brings a new superintendent at the Kickapoo Nation School.

He's Dr. Otis Clarke, who comes to the school after serving students and communities in the Navajo Nation of Arizona.

Clarke earned a Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts in history from Providence College, then completed a Master of Science in secondary education and a Doctor of Education in educational leadership at Gwynedd Mercy University, in Pennsylvnia.

Clarke said his goal as the new school leader is to collaborate with staff, families, students and stakeholders in the community.

He said the school's focus will be on academic achievement, Kickapoo language and culture and the social emotional development of students.

Clarke said the school's small class sizes allow for more personalized instruction and engaging interactions between the school's teachers and students.

He said he's excited to welcome students back to campus for the 2025-26 school year. The first day of school will be August 13.
