Humboldt USD 258’s bold focus on the future
About this episode
This episode features an interview with Superintendent Dr. Amber Wheeler discussing the transformative changes in Humboldt USD 258 aimed at better preparing students for the future.
Whether it’s the district’s Humboldt Promise program, the new Cubs Community Care Center, limiting cell phone use in schools, or improvements from a $17.5 million bond issue voters passed in 2022, Humboldt schools are rapidly retooling to meet students’ needs and prepare them for a changing world. At the heart of it is Superintendent Dr. Amber Wheeler, now in her fifth year at the district. The changes, insists Wheeler, are because of an unrelenting focus on “doing what’s right for kids.” In this week’s episode of “Registered,” we speak with Wheeler about how the district is transforming to meet the moment.
