To the Hayden Community and Parent/Guardians:

As we close another successful school year, and prepare for the upcoming one, I want to share a brief update regarding my availability this summer.

I will be away from the district during the month of July and will return on August 3rd to finalize preparations for the 2026-27 school year. While I will be away from the office during July, district operations will continue uninterrupted, and our administrative team will be available to assist with any questions or needs that may arise. Mr. Ed Anderson, Director of Finance/HR will be the immediate point of contact at the district on my behalf. 

I am grateful for the opportunity to continue serving the Hayden community during the upcoming school year. Over the past three years, I have been continually impressed by the dedication of our staff, the support of our families, and the accomplishments of our students. I look forward to building on that momentum as we begin another exciting year together.

Thank you for your continued support of the Hayden School District. I wish everyone a safe, enjoyable, and well-deserved summer break, and look, forward to seeing you all in August.

Eric Owen

Superintendent, Hayden School District RE-1
