Mr. Andrew Sarnow was recently announced as the Mequon-Thiensville School District’s next Executive Director of Business Services following Ms. Sarah Viera's resignation after nearly ten years of dedicated service. The MTSD Board of Education approved Mr. Sarnow’s hire during its regular business meeting on Monday, December 16, and his first official day with MTSD will be Tuesday, January 7, 2025. Andrew was selected from a highly qualified pool of candidates after a rigorous interview process that engaged three dedicated teams of stakeholders. These teams included District administrators, staff, and community members, ensuring a comprehensive evaluation of each candidate’s experience, vision, and alignment with MTSD’s values.

The Mequon-Thiensville School District has achieved a ranking of “Significantly Exceeds Expectations” on the 2023-2024 District Report Cards issued in November 2024 by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) with an overall score of 83.1. The district's ranked score is the 10th highest, or in the top 3%, among 367 K-12 public school districts in the state. MTSD has significantly exceeded expectations in all ten years that the District Report Cards have been produced.

This achievement is a reflection of the collective dedication of our students, staff, families, and community. While there are many ways to measure and rank a school district, we are consistently appreciative of the unwavering commitment and collaboration that make a positive impact on our children’s growth and learning. We are deeply grateful for everyone who plays a part in shaping our shared achievements.
