WAPSIE VALLEY COMMUNITY SCHOOL DISTRICT OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT


Subject: Appointment of New Superintendent of Schools

Date: April 2, 2026

To: Wapsie Valley Students, Staff, Families, and Community Members

The Wapsie Valley Board of Education is proud to announce the appointment of Timothy (TJ) Murphy as the next Superintendent of the Wapsie Valley Community School District, effective July 1, 2026.

Following a thorough search process, the Board determined that Mr. Murphy’s proven leadership, deep-rooted connection to our community, and vision for educational excellence make him the ideal leader to guide our district into the future.

For the past six years, Mr. Murphy has served with distinction as our 7-12 Secondary Principal. During his tenure, he has been instrumental in fostering a positive school culture, improving academic outcomes, and building strong relationships with students and staff alike. His transition to superintendency ensures a seamless continuity of leadership and a steadfast commitment to the "Warrior Way."

Beyond his professional qualifications, TJ is a devoted member of the Wapsie Valley family. He and his wife, Beth, are proud residents of the district. As parents of three children who currently attend Wapsie Valley schools, the Murphy family is deeply invested in the success and well-being of our local youth and the community at large.

"It is a profound honor to be selected to lead a district that means so much to my family and me," said Mr. Murphy. "I look forward to collaborating with our talented educators and the entire community to ensure every student at Wapsie Valley has the tools and support they need to thrive."

Please join us in congratulating Mr. Murphy on his new role.
