Dr. Steve Noble, who has been superintendent at Hillsboro U.S.D. 410, will be replacing Mr. Mike Mathes as superintendent. Mathes announced his retirement after this school year.
plan Noble’s plan is to get integrated very quickly by meeting with community and school leadership. He will spend the first 100 days on the job listening to everyone, including students. A student advisory group is something that he wants to set up so he can hear directly from the students.
Dr. Noble, who began his career in education as an Industrial Technology teacher, will be coming into the district with many new changes happening. He touched on the 1 to 1 initiation and how excited he is for it.
“This will be a big boost to our learning programs,” said Dr. Noble.
He was very excited when this job opened. The Seaman community was something that drew him into applying for the job.
“It’s location adjacent to Topeka, yet the small community feel, is very appealing to my family,” said Dr. Noble.
He is excited that his kids will be in this district. He and his wife, Gita, have three children: Eva, 14, Ellie, 11, and Emma, 10.
“Seaman has a great reputation statewide for having quality academic, fine arts, clubs and athletic programs,” said Dr. Noble.
Some of his hobbies include being outdoors, watching his kids in their activities and enjoying watching sports on TV. He is a huge Royals, Chiefs, and Wichita State fan. He tries to watch as much college football as he can.
Dr. Noble closed by saying “I am very excited to become a part of the Seaman school district.”
