Crawford County R-1 School District

A Warhawk Welcome from Mr. Cole Byassee, Superintendent of Schools

Welcome to the Crawford County R-1 School District.  I am truly honored to serve as your Superintendent of Schools. As your new Superintendent, I am looking forward to this upcoming school year -- working together toward common goals and ensuring that all students are reaching their full potential.

Being from a small town myself, I realize the importance of small town schools and the value they bring to rural communities.  Our district works hard to maintain the rigorous school curriculum we are known for while providing a safe and nurturing environment for all students to thrive.  I also want to continue to empower our parents to serve as partners in the overall educational process.  I look forward to working collaboratively with the school board, staff, parents and community to continue building an exceptional educational program to enhance opportunities for students. Please feel free to contact me anytime with any questions or concerns. 

Best wishes for a safe and productive school year! It’s a great day to be a Warhawk!
