Mr. Cory Hinkel

Greetings School District of Luck Residents:

Thank you for visiting the School District of Luck webpage. The school district is very fortunate to have residents that support the educational process and have a vested interest in the future of the children of the area. The district is blessed with veteran staff members who know how to reach all students and maximize their full potential. I am very pleased to be joining this group of educators in their journey to educate the students of the area. I am also very pleased to bring my family including my two daughters to the district. When searching for new positions, the Luck area was very intriguing to me. It offers many recreational opportunities with its many lakes, forests and trails in the area. The Luck area is a great recreational spot while being close to the amenities of the Twin Cities. I look forward to taking advantage of it all in the future.

As I come to the School District of Luck, I have worked with the administrative team to help put a focus on the education of the students. To look at what we already do well and improve on areas of need. As a district, we will focus on RTI, PBIS, implementation of Technology and overall best practices in educating the youth of today. These are not new topics in education, but if not revisited lose their focus and purpose. I look forward to working with staff as we work together to improve the quality of education for all students in the district.

I am very pleased with all of the excellent programs already in place in the district. The year started out with the Cardinal Academy giving the students a unique start to the school year. Students participated in wide variety of activities during this time. Our athletic programs are off to a wonderful start to the school year and are performing at a high level like in the past. The district offers a variety of educational opportunities while maintaining low class sizes throughout all grade levels.

The district is in the end of an Energy Efficiency project that updated the main entrance providing secure entrances to the district while updating the existing electrical systems, lighting, security cameras and phone system. The district was able pay down the debt on the Wisconsin Retirement System by $95,000. All of this was done while maintaining the fund balance.

I am very pleased to be the educational leader in such a fine district and community. I look forward to connecting with as many of you as possible. Please do not hesitate to seek me out and ask me questions. I look forward to working with you all to bring the best educational opportunities possible to the students of the Luck School District.

Yours in Education,

Cory Hinkel
