001Hi, I am Dr. Erin Stalbaum, and I'm honored to be the incoming superintendent of Center Grove Community School Corporation. As a lifelong educator, resident of Center Grove, and parent to three sons in our schools, I know firsthand the value of a Center Grove education. My connection to Center Grove spans generations. My mother graduated from Center Grove High School in 1977 where she served as editor of the school newspaper, The Trojaneer. Today, my husband and I are proud to call ourselves a Center Grove family. We credit this community with shaping and developing the young men our three sons are becoming. They are currently receiving an exceptional education at Center Grove High School, Center Grove Middle School North, and Sugar Grove Elementary School. I have spent my career in education because I believe in what exceptional schools
002can do for students and the community. Center Grove is a corporation with a dedicated staff and invested families. Together, we thrive due to our partnerships focused on learning, empowerment, and community. I look forward to collaborating with you in various ways as we focus on our mission to develop our students as knowledgeable, confident, and responsible citizens. We are planning meet and greet sessions throughout the community over the next several months. We will share that information on our district social media accounts, on our website, and via ParentSquare. I'm so excited to meet you in person to hear about what makes you proud to be a Center Grove Trojan and what you envision for our schools. Thank you for the warm welcome you've already shown me. I look forward to meeting you, learning from you, and working alongside
003you. Our vision at Center Grove is to ensure all students receive an exceptional educational experience. Let's work together to achieve that each and every day. Enjoy the rest of the 25-26 school year, and Go Trojans.
