Dear Odin students and families,

Welcome back to another amazing school year! I am excited to greet you as the new superintendent at Odin Public School. It is an honor to return for the 2025-2026 school year to continue making positive changes in the lives of our students. I am grateful for this opportunity to continue serving this community.

As we begin our new school year, I want our families and students to know that we want the best for our school. Our teachers and staff have worked hard this summer to ensure that they are ready to give you their best. We are interested in focusing on a few key ideas for the upcoming school year:

-Keeping safety a top priority for students, staff and families
-Building relationships to create stronger bonds in the community
-Providing new learning opportunities for students
-Continuing our tradition of academic excellence
-Respecting our staff as our staff respects our students

We are looking forward to this school year and have an exciting year ahead. If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to call me at the school office at 618-740-4183, send me an email at qmarcum@odinpublicschools.org or come up to the school.

Thank you,


Quinton Marcum
