Dr. Winchester Awarded Excellence in Education Award in Chicago

“We are celebrating Dr. Caroline Winchester who has 
served as the Superintendent of Chadron Public Schools 
for the past nine years and students for 36 years as an 
educator and leader. During this time, she has provided the 
district with strong, servant leadership that is vision 
centered, mission driven and goal-focused.  She has led 
the district through difficult financial times, the 
implementation of a district wide MTSS model, the adoption 
and implementation of the Danielson Framework for 
Teaching, and nearly two cycles of Systems Accreditation 
through AdvancEd, now Cognia. Her reflective, inclusive, 
collaborative and transparent leadership has served as an 
example of exceptional leadership to the administrative team 
(The A-Team) and to the entire Chadron Public Schools staff. 


As administrators, we recognize the importance of the vision of Chadron Public Schools - Infinite 
Education, Infinite Possibilities, and Opportunities for All - because it reminds us of the important 
work that we do every day. We appreciate her experienced guidance as we strive to meet this 
ideal by serving our students with passion, compassion and equity. We also appreciate her trust in 
us as professionals, which she demonstrates through a collaborative decision making process 
and by allowing us the autonomy to run the day-to-day operations of our schools. As Dr. 
Winchester prepares to retire from public education, we are excited to celebrate this special 
recognition from Cognia with her. On behalf of the teachers, support staff and students of 
ChadronPublic Schools, the A-Team would like to congratulate and thank Dr. Caroline 
Winchester for her record of outstanding service and exemplary leadership.”
