Coleman Community Schools

We are very sad to announce that our Custodial/Maintenance Supervisor, Mr. Wade O'Dell will be leaving us. His knowledge, skill, sense of humor, and drive will be a big loss for our district. We wish him all the best in this next role and thank him for all that he has done for our students, team, and the district.
