Family and Friends of Otsego Public Schools,

I am humbled and honored to serve as your Superintendent.  I look forward to learning more about the community and establishing lasting friendships with each of you.  As a lifelong resident of Allegan County, I feel I am connected to the area and share your passion to see our schools, students and businesses flourish.

I started my educational career teaching science in Allegan.  During that time I coached multiple sports and taught at both the high and middle school levels.  I thoroughly enjoyed my time in the classroom and I am blessed to continue the relationships I had with my students today.  While working in Allegan I completed my masters degree at Grand Valley State University and set my sights on becoming an administrator.

I became the principal of Galesburg-Augusta High School in 2013 where I served for eight years.  During that time I continued my pursuit of higher education and worked toward my doctorate.  I completed my doctoral program in 2021 with an emphasis on Educational Management and Leadership.  My doctoral thesis was *Relationships*Engagement*Assessment, the Keys to Student Success; a study that integrates the practices and beliefs of OPS.

My husband, Frank, and I are proud parents of four children, who we raised in the neighboring town.  We have been blessed with seven wonderful grandchildren who we have the privilege of living near.

I pride myself on building relationships with all stakeholders in the district.  By learning more about individuals or teams, we are able to share a common vision for our students. Over the course of my career, I have always lived by the standard that every person plays a valuable role in our success.  My goal is to help the students of Otsego Public Schools feel connected, develop their talents, make lasting memories and chase their dreams.  

I am excited to begin this journey as a Bulldog and continue to build a legacy rich in tradition, success and family.

All the best, 

Dr. Christie Robinson
