Springfield middle, elementary students get to be 'Superintendent for a Day'

Springfield Students Experience Life as "Superintendent for a Day"

Springfield Public Schools officials recently hosted three students to be "Superintendent for a day".

The students, including 11-year-old Nahia Atanacio-Rodriguez from Duggen Academy, met with teachers, administrators, and principals to learn about their jobs.

"My experience is like very cool because now I actually know things that I actually didn't even know existed. I didn't even know this many doors and rooms would be in this just big, huge, humongous building,”

Atanacio-Rodriguez said. Superintendent Sonia Dinnall accompanied the students, teaching them about her job and showing them around the school district office.

The students gained valuable insight into the daily operations of the school district.
