This year we will celebrate and acknowledge the incredible achievements within our school district with our video series titled Inspire and Impact.

The Inspire and Impact series will spotlight the remarkable accomplishments of our students and staff. Each episode will feature stories that inspire and remind us all of the profound impact our school community has on each other and beyond. We believe that by sharing these stories, we can further strengthen our community bonds and celebrate the hard work and dedication that contribute to our students’ success.

The first episode highlights our new teachers for the 2026-2027 school year. We are excited to learn, grow, and make a difference together.

Inspire and Impact South Eastern SD with Dr. Nathan Van Deusen
We inspire healthy choices. We impact brighter futures. We create safe, healthy learning environments where every student can learn, grow, and succeed.
This school year, the South Eastern School District has installed vape detection technology in every middle and high school restroom.
This investment reflects our commitment to student health, school safety, and providing learning environments free from nicotine and drug use.
Our goal is prevention, not punishment. By encouraging healthy choices and maintaining clear expectations, we can help every student focus on what matters most: learning, building relationships, and preparing for a bright future.

❤️ Healthy Choices. 🛡️ Safe Schools. ⭐️ Bright Futures.

An informational poster from South Eastern School District (SESD) on preventing vaping. At the top, the SESD logo with a ram head and core values (Persistence, Collaboration, Curiosity, Critical Thinking, Empathy, Creativity, Integrity, Innovation, Problem Solving, Tolerance, Communication, Effort) is to the right. The left side has large white and yellow text reading: "SOUTH EASTERN SCHOOL DISTRICT. WE INSPIRE HEALTHY CHOICES. WE IMPACT BRIGHTER FUTURES." In the middle-left, there are three icons and text blocks: • A heart icon in a shield with a yellow background states: "CREATING SAFE, HEALTHY LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS WHERE EVERY STUDENT CAN LEARN, GROW, AND SUCCEED." • An icon of a hand holding a smoking device with radiating waves states: "THIS SCHOOL YEAR, the South Eastern School District has installed vape detection technology in every middle and high school restroom." • A shield icon with a checkmark states: "THIS INVESTMENT reflects our commitment to student health, school safety, and providing learning environments free from nicotine and drug use." • An icon of hands cupping a person silhouette states: "OUR GOAL IS PREVENTION, NOT PUNISHMENT. By encouraging healthy choices and maintaining clear expectations, we can help every student focus on what matters most: learning, building relationships, and preparing for a bright future." On the right, a large red circle with a diagonal line (the universal "no" symbol) is over an image of a person’s hand holding a vape device with a cloud of vapor coming out. Text on top of the image reads: "NO VAPING. BREATHE CLEAN. CHOOSE HEALTH. CHOOSE SUCCESS." The bottom section has three small icons (heart, shield, star) with the words: "HEALTHY CHOICES. SAFE SCHOOLS. BRIGHT FUTURES." Below this, large yellow and white text reads: "SESD The South Eastern School District exists to INSPIRE and IMPACT learners.
