Superintendent's Message

Welcome to Fife Public Schools!superintendent alfano

It is my pleasure to welcome you to Fife Public Schools! We are a vibrant, diverse, and dedicated learning community committed to providing exceptional educational experiences for all students. Whether you are a student, parent/caregiver, staff member, or community partner, we are grateful for your role in shaping our schools and contributing to the success of our students.

Fife Public Schools serves approximately 3,900 students who reflect a rich diversity of backgrounds and experiences. Our students bring over 37 languages to our schools, and nearly 20% are multilingual learners. Additionally, 55.7% of our students come from low-income households, and 12.6% learn with a disability. These numbers are more than statistics—they represent the strength and resilience of our school community and reinforce our commitment to equity and inclusion in education.

We are incredibly proud of our dedicated educators who work tirelessly to support student growth and success. With an average of 15.3 years of experience, 61% of our 229 teachers hold a Master's Degree or higher, and 32 have achieved National Board Certification. Their expertise and passion for teaching help ensure that every student is given the opportunity to achieve their full potential.

Our vision is clear: to be an inclusive and affirming learning organization that inspires academic achievement and fosters personal growth and well-being in all students. We strive to prepare every student for success in college, careers, community, and life.

To fulfill this vision, we embrace a mission centered on equity and success for all. We are committed to dismantling barriers for historically marginalized groups while celebrating the diversity of our students and staff. Our focus is on:

  1. Engaging our students in rigorous, culturally responsive educational experiences that link learning to college, careers, community, and life.
  2.  Fostering collaboration among students, staff, families, and the broader community to enhance learning and support.
  3. Providing a safe and supportive environment for all, ensuring that every student feels valued and empowered to thrive.
  4. Cultivating collaborative, long-lasting relationships with families/caregivers and establishing strong partnerships with the community to support student success.

We are also incredibly proud of our students' accomplishments. In the 2023-24 school year, 92.3% of our high school seniors graduated - a testament to their hard work and the unwavering support of our educators, families, and community partners.

As we continue to grow and evolve, we invite you to be an active part of our school district. Your support and engagement are essential in shaping the future of our students. Whether through volunteering, attending school events, or partnering with us to enhance educational opportunities, we welcome your involvement collaboration.

Thank you for being a part of the Fife Public Schools community. Together, we will continue to inspire, educate, and support every student on their journey to success. #togetherweRfife
