Chris Mills, Superintendent of Stephen-Argyle Public Schools in the northwestern corner of Minnesota, will tell you that being the superintendent of a small district has many advantages—getting hugs from kindergartners in the hallway, being a community leader, advocating at the legislature for equity in funding and treatment of small schools, and in creating a school community where all are welcome. Are there disadvantages? Some but the community works hard to utilize area resources in every way possible. He believes in being involved, networking, and building community to meet the needs of his students, staff, and community.
