An alumnus of the School of Education Superintendent licensure curriculum, Dr. Sarah Jerome of the School District of Kettle Moraine, was one of four national finalists for the 2005 Superintendent of the Year award.

The finalists for the award were chosen from 50 state Superintendent of the Year finalists, all of whom represent excellence in school leadership nationwide. The annual awards program is open to all U.S. public school superintendents as well as superintendents of American schools abroad and Department of Defense Education Activity School superintendents who plan to continue in the profession.

Dr. Jerome is also an alumnus of Greensboro College (B.A.) and Duke University (M.A.T., Ph.D.) and has served as superintendent at Kettle Moraine for the past 12 years. She has been characterized as a prominent leader in public school education who takes her work as a wife, mother, and community volunteer equally seriously. Sarah also serves her church, a local hospital, and many civic organizations in the Milwaukee region.

The School of Education and the senior leadership of the University are proud to claim Sarah as an alum, and offer our heartfelt congratulations.
