Welcome to the Uxbridge Public Schools 2025-2026

Dear Uxbridge Community,

It is with great excitement and deep honor that I introduce myself as your new Superintendent of Schools. As I step into this role, I am inspired by the rich history of educational excellence that defines our district and energized by the opportunity to work alongside our dedicated educators, engaged families, and supportive community members.

Our Shared Commitment

The Uxbridge Public Schools stands firmly rooted in our core values of Responsibility, Respect, Equity, and Collaboration. These principles are not merely words on a page—they are the foundation upon which we build every learning experience for our 1,678 students across our three schools. In my time getting to know our district, I have been impressed by how these values come alive in our classrooms, hallways, and community partnerships.

Our Mission Moving Forward

Our mission is clear: to provide every student with a comprehensive, high-quality education that prepares them for success in an ever-changing world. We are committed to fostering critical thinking, creativity, and character development while honoring the diverse talents and learning styles of each student. Through innovative teaching practices, robust support systems, and meaningful community engagement, we will ensure that every child in Uxbridge has the opportunity to reach their full potential.

Our Vision for Excellence

I envision a district where:

• Every student experiences academic growth and personal development in a safe, supportive environment
• Our educators are empowered with the resources, professional development, and collaborative culture they need to excel
• Families are valued partners in their children's educational journey
• Community connections strengthen our schools and enrich our students' learning experiences
• Innovation and tradition work hand in hand to create meaningful educational opportunities

Building on Our Strengths

Our district has much to celebrate. From our modern high school facility to the innovative projects our teachers are implementing with community support, we have a strong foundation of excellence. I am particularly impressed by our educators' commitment to creative learning, evidenced by the numerous successful projects funded through community partnerships and grants.

As we look to the future, I am committed to listening to our community's voices, understanding our students' needs, and working collaboratively to address challenges and seize opportunities. Together, we will continue to enhance our academic programs, strengthen our support services, and ensure that every decision we make serves the best interests of our students.

An Invitation to Engage

Education is most powerful when it is a shared endeavor. I encourage all community members—parents, families, local businesses, civic organizations, and residents—to stay engaged with our schools. Whether through volunteering, attending school events, participating in school committee meetings, or simply having conversations with our students about their learning, your involvement makes a difference.

I look forward to meeting you at upcoming school events, community gatherings, and in the hallways of our schools. Please don't hesitate to reach out with questions, ideas, or concerns. My door is always open, and I believe that open communication is essential to our collective success.

Looking Ahead

As we embark on this journey together, I am filled with optimism for what we can achieve. Our students deserve nothing less than an exceptional education, and I am committed to working tirelessly to ensure they receive it. With our shared values as our guide and our collaborative spirit as our strength, I am confident that the Uxbridge Public Schools will continue to be a source of pride for our entire community.

Thank you for welcoming me to this remarkable district. I am honored to serve as your Superintendent and look forward to the great work ahead.

With gratitude and excitement,

Dave Ljungberg
