Why Maroa-Forsyth School District

Because your child deserves the opportunity to help us build a better world—one student at a time.

The Maroa-Forsyth School District's mission is to cultivate a passion for learning by challenging all students to reach their unique potential.

From kindergarten through 12th grade, our students are on a journey of learning, discovering, and growing through academics, athletics, and extracurriculars. Guiding them on this journey is a teaching and coaching staff passionate about helping each student find their own passions.

Dear students and families,

To our new students and parents, I would like to extend a warm welcome on behalf of the Maroa-Forsyth school district. I hope you quickly feel at home and participate in our many school activities as part of our school community. To our returning families, we are fortunate to welcome you back to another exciting school year! As district families, you play a vital role in our students' success.

I am excited to be on this journey with you as the district strives to fulfill our mission to cultivate a passion for learning by challenging all students to reach their unique potential. We believe a passion for learning is cultivated when we:

  • Establish a safe environment and respectful culture.
  • Nurture collaborative partnerships among home, school, and community.
  • Provide relevant, challenging, and engaging educational experiences.
  • Support highly skilled and dedicated staff.
  • Leverage our resources with innovation, responsibility, and effectiveness.

The coming year will surely bring its share of challenges and opportunities for growth. I am confident that together, we will meet these challenges and seize opportunities for our children to achieve their unique potential. I have two goals for all students and staff at Maroa-Forsyth CUSD#2: chase after excellence and take pride in all they do. Excellence is a mindset; if we set our sights on doing the right things and chase after improving ourselves each day, we learn that excellence is not a destination but a journey. My second goal is for our students and staff to continue to take pride in our schools and communities. Whether in the classroom, on the court, on the stage, on the field, or in the community, you represent Maroa-Forsyth CUSD#2. By celebrating our successes and working to overcome challenges, we can create an environment where everyone feels valued and motivated to give their very best. This collective pride helps strengthen the bonds that unite us not only as a school district but also as the communities of Maroa and Forsyth.

I am humbled by the opportunity to be on this journey with you as superintendent of Maroa-Forsyth CUSD#2 and to support this wonderful community. Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns. I look forward to helping your family chase after excellence and take pride in our schools and communities.

With Trojan Pride,

Adam Ibbotson
Maroa-Forsyth CUSD#2 Superintendent
