Superintendent Mike Crawford

Dear Mapleton families,

Serving this community as your Superintendent of Schools is the honor of a lifetime.  Just over half of my 34 years in education have been spent in Mapleton, and it has been a privilege to witness firsthand the dedication, resilience, and potential of our students, the commitment and talent of our teachers and staff, and the support and love of our families. I look forward to working alongside everyone in this community to ensure the continued success of this great school district. Mapleton is truly a very special place!

Mapleton Public Schools is poised to gain significant momentum in our pursuit of academic excellence. Our commitment to active learning, safe environments, high-quality staff, enrichment opportunities, and meaningful relationships gives students a solid foundation for success in school and beyond.  As our most valuable advocates, our connections with you – Mapleton parents and families – will ensure we stay on a positive trajectory.  By harnessing our collective strengths, I am confident that the best is yet to come!

As Superintendent, I intend to make every effort to foster a culture of connection, collaboration, and transparency. I look forward to seeing you at your child’s school, at school and district committee meetings, and district-wide events. I also encourage you to be on the lookout for regular updates from me in our biweekly family newsletter, The Learning Link.

In the spirit of open communication, I am eager to hear from you. You are welcome to call me at 303.853.1015, or email CrawfordM@mapleton.us. Thank you for entrusting us with your child’s education. I am grateful to be supporting the academic journey of you and your family.

Warm regards,
