John Schulte has been named the Assistant Superintendent for Student Personnel Services in the Fort Zumwalt School District effective July 1. Schulte, who started his career as an elementary school teacher in Fort Zumwalt, has served almost 20 years in the Wentzville School District as a principal and, for the past five years, as the Assistant Superintendent of Administrative Services.
Schulte replaces Jeremy Moore as Assistant Superintendent for Student Personnel Services. Schulte will oversee enrollment and residency, homeless and foster care, discipline and the district’s wide array of programs serving students at risk of not graduating.
“Parents have entrusted us with the task of preparing their children for their next adventure in life,” says Schulte, shown left. “My heart is in working to see all students succeed, especially those who might bring additional adverse experiences to school with them. Each child presents us with an opportunity for success and it is up to us to wrap the required services around them as they grow and mature.”
Schulte, a St. Peters native, is focused on giving teachers and staff the tools they need to work with students requiring support at many different levels. “Joining the Fort Zumwalt family is a tremendous privilege,” he says. “I look forward to getting to know the community as we work together to support all of our students as they prepare for a successful future.”
Moore, shown left. will transition to Administrative Services beginning July 1. As the Assistant Superintendent there he will oversee Custodial, Student Nutrition and Transportation services as well as policy development and federal funds. Moore has served on Fort Zumwalt’s leadership team since 2015, before which time he served as a principal or assistant principal at the elementary, middle and high school levels in the district.
The coming year will be one of transition for the school district. Longtime Superintendent Dr. Bernard DuBray will retire at the end of the 2022-2023 school year and Dr. Paul Myers, longtime Deputy Superintendent, has been named Superintendent Elect. Dr. Henry St. Pierre has been named Deputy Superintendent Elect. Both positions are effective July 1.
