My name is Brian Nadeau, and I am humbled by the opportunity to serve as the next Superintendent of the Ellsworth Community School District. My wife, Amy, and I enjoy spending time with our children, grandchildren, extended family, and dogs.
For the past three years, I have served as a Superintendent & MS/HS Principal in the Plum City School District. I'm proud to say I have had the privilege of teaching for 16 years as a middle school science teacher and serving in school leadership for the past nine years.
After graduating from UW-River Falls with a degree in Biology & Science Education, I taught 7th and 8th Grade Science and coached high school football, softball, baseball, and middle school basketball. I earned my master's degree in Educational Administration and Superintendent licensure from Saint Maryโs University of Minnesota and have completed additional graduate coursework at Hamline University.
As a staunch supporter of activities and athletics as a lever to engage students and improve academic achievement, I was honored to be elected to serve on the WIAA Board of Control as the District 3 Representative. I look forward to building on the strong foundation established in the ECSD, developing the professional learning communities to improve student outcomes, and cultivating positive relationships with all stakeholders as we work to create the best educational system that meets the needs of all learners, both today and into the future.
Go Panthers!
