Communications and Community Relations

At SD74, we value open, two-way communication with our families, staff, and community members. If you have questions, feedback, or ideas to share, please contact Jackie McGoey, Director of Communications and Community Relations, at jmcgoey@sd74.org.

We welcome your input and appreciate the opportunity to connect with you. By sharing ideas, celebrating successes, and creating meaningful moments together, we can continue strengthening our schools and our community.
