Fueled by my love of teaching and my core belief that all students can learn, I have enjoyed 7 years as a classroom teacher in Idaho. I taught second grade for two years as well as third grade for five years. I loved every moment!

This is my ninth year as principal of Declo Elementary and I have loved it almost every day too! One exception comes to mind.

On a dark and stormy night, I found myself on the roof of our lovely school. I lay awake in the dead of night, soaking wet from the rain, being buffeted in my sleeping bag by the wind,  asking myself three simple questions:

1- "What led me here? 2- Was there a different path I could have taken? 3- Is it worth it?"

Here are my answers.

1- I was led here because I believe in education!

2- There were many paths I could have taken but I am grateful that this one led me here to all of you.

3- Finally, the answer is YES! It is worth everything!

Thank you for your support in making Declo Elementary the best school in the world! We follow The Declo Way!

Sincerely,

Kevin Lloyd
