As school years pass by, changes are inevitable. Students graduate, teachers relocate and retire, but this continual cycle brings new blood and new beginnings. Fremont High welcomes its newest addition, Superintendent Brad Dahl.
Having great staff is one of the most important elements for any school district. Staff members play a crucial role in the growth, development, and success of students.
Dahl was drawn to Fremont because he has family and friends in the area. With having kids of his own, Dahl thought it would be beneficial for his children to attend a school with a diverse student body.
“I just see so much potential when I walk down the halls of FHS or Washington, or Deere Point,” Dahl said. “The potential is endless.”
So far in the 2025-2026 school year, Dahl has had a hand in different bond projects. Projects like the High School stadium and new elementary schools. Day-to-day, he is constantly communicating and working with other staff and board members.
“I am spending a lot of time working with board members talking about where we’re going to be with our budget,” Dahl said. “How we are going to utilize our dollars and what we’re going to tax our community to make sure that our facility continues to operate and run smoothly.”
Dahl believes his biggest success so far was helping the High School feel more like the home of the Fremont Tigers. He wants students and staff to feel the pride of competing here.
“We have increased and improved our facilities,” Dahl said, “and I think that adds to being prideful about who we are, as Fremont Tigers.”
At the end of the school year, Dahl wants to be able to shake the hands of the graduates, reflecting on their hard work. Both students and teachers work hard to get to the end of the school year.
“We are going to have bumps along the road,” Dahl said. “We are going to have clogged toilets because a vape pen got flushed. At the end of the day, we’re going to look at the work, all these benchmarks, and say, that is what a successful school year [looks like].”
A successful school year means embracing new beginnings. Throughout the year, students and staff alike will experience hardship and difficulties.
Students and staff welcome new Superintendent Brad Dahl to Fremont High. Dahl will go through the year along with the rest of us, pushing through the hardships. When all is said and done, people like Brad Dahl wish to look back proud of the Fremont Tigers.
