Greetings From The Superintendent
Hello Mayer Community,
My name is Risha VanderWey and I am the new superintendent of Mayer Unified School District. I recently moved to the area and am looking forward to getting to know the students, staff, families and local community members. I have been a superintendent for the past 9 years in Arizona and Colorado. I was a principal and teacher for over 10 years. I look forward to bringing my skills and expertise in education to Mayer Unified School District.
As the district prepares to open its doors Aug 15, 2022, I dedicate my time and energy to make sure all students thrive academically, socially and emotionally. In order to accomplish this, I am creating a culture that students PreK-12 are supported and cared for by nurturing and well-educated staff.
As superintendent, my vision is to ensure every student experiences:
- high quality instructional time and an intellectually robust curriculum;
- ample opportunities to develop their self-identity;
- clean and welcoming school environment;
- exceeding standards and completion of college prep and rigorous courses.
I have an open door policy. If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to come to my office to talk about it.
