Superintendent

Mrs. Patricia Berezanky - Superintendent

Dear Purchase Line Students, Staff, Parents, and Community:

I am honored to serve as the Purchase Line School District Superintendent, where our Red Dragon Pride runs strong. As Superintendent, I will support and grow the traditions and expectations of excellence of the Red Dragons. Today's learners need more than just our instructional knowledge. They need experiences that will help to foster their love of learning and grow their opportunities for success. Through our rich STEAM programs, students can explore an array of courses designed to challenge their knowledge and creativity. Starting in elementary school, students explore science, technology, and engineering concepts through hands-on activities, coding, and 3D printing. As students begin high school, they can expand on this knowledge through a variety of courses such as Engineering and Design, 3D Modeling and Printing, Electrical Circuits, Coding, A/V Technology and Communications, Robotics, Computer Science, and Aviation. Students enrolling in Aviation I & II will prepare for the FFA Part 107 Remote Pilot license exam to become certified remote pilots. Here at Purchase Line, the sky is literally the limit.

At Purchase Line School District, we are committed to the success of every student. Our staff's dedication to student learning and their strong community ties are the cornerstones of our mission. I am proud of their commitment and confident that, with their continued efforts, we will pave the way for all our students to succeed. I firmly believe that every child has the potential to learn the skills necessary to achieve their life, career, and educational goals.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Patricia Berezansky
