Dear FTIS Students, Families and Staff,
What a wonderful time to be part of the Fort Thomas Independent School District! Built upon a foundation of generational excellence, our students, families, community, faculty and staff are working together to provide one-of-a-kind opportunities for our students. The excellence and leadership demonstrated by our students and staff in the classroom, on the stage, and athletic fields continue to result in the Fort Thomas Independent Schools being recognized by a variety of publications and organizations nationally and among the top performing academic K-12 districts in the Commonwealth. We are, Rich in Tradition, Focused on the Future, and I am truly honored to have the opportunity to serve as your superintendent.
With eyes to the future, our team is committed to preparing each individual student to realize their personal success and for our schools to serve as the heartbeat of this thriving community. Informed by research and deep community involvement, we will continue to build the competencies each child needs to be competitive in the workforce and post-secondary education as described in our Portrait of a Graduate work. The Fort Thomas Graduate is supported by our united and intentional efforts to create a culture that allows each student to thrive. The FTIS five-year strategic plan is grounded in stakeholder voice, empowerment and the ability to innovate to meet the needs of our students and community. The priorities outlined include: ensuring our district remains among the top school districts in the nation in achievement, offers experiences and opportunities second to none, focuses on a positive and engaged school culture and ensures we are impacting individual student growth toward future success. To demonstrate personal growth, this year our team will outline our multi-year plan to introduce "defense of learning" presentations at key transition points for our students throughout their journey. Please visit the link above and each of the associated "priority pages" to view how our teams are measuring progress and the focus activities for the upcoming year.
To remain up to date with all the events and activities throughout the district, we encourage you to visit calendar information on our website at https://www.fortthomas.kyschools.us. We also encourage you to visit the webpage to view progress on the exciting Tower Park Athletic Complex we plan to open in the 2025-2026 school year. This project approved by our Board of Education is in partnership with St. Elizabeth, OrthoCincy, the City of Fort Thomas, and a grant approved by the Kentucky General Assembly and Governor. We are excited for the new opportunities this amazing facility will bring to our students and community as a whole.
We need your support and partnership! We are blessed to be part of something so special as the promise a new school year offers. Our schools are the heart of the community and our team pledges to serve to honor the deep value our community places on hard work, individual responsibility, student achievement and the expectation that each child deserves a world-class education. Our teachers, principals, administrative staff and I encourage your feedback. Building upon amazing community support and energized by the best student body, faculty and staff in the state, we will continue to build excellence together. This is the tradition that drives everything we do. It is a great day to be in the Fort and I look forward to our continued success together!
Sincerely,
Brian Robinson
Superintendent
