Dear Lexington R-V Families,
It is with mixed emotion that I share that the Board has officially accepted my resignation effective June 30, 2025. After significant reflection on what is best for my family, it is time for me to move on to our next chapter. Thus, I plan to retire upon completion of this school year.
It has been my honor to serve nineteen of the 25 years of my career, leading as superintendent for the last six, as part of the Minuteman family. I appreciate the opportunity to have worked in a place that I am sincerely passionate about. We truly have such amazing people here! We still have a lot to accomplish in the 2024-25 school year. Please know that I am dedicated to working hard for our District through the end of June, as well as providing assistance as needed for a smooth transition.
I am proud to be the mother of five Lexington R-V graduates, with the sixth joining the ranks in 2026. I will continue to support our District as a parent and community member. #minutemenstrong
Yours in Education,
Sarrah Morgan, Ed.S.
Superintendent
