    I am so honored and humbled to be named the next Superintendent in Novi Community School District! I love my SCCS family, and I will always remember the incredible team there. I am also so excited to join the incredible students, staff, and community in NCSD! #NoviTogether

    What a creative way to announce a snow day. I hope the @swartz_creek Dragons had a fun (and safe) day off! youtu.be/xWoxREYRJM8

    Our Novi students are literally the best ever! Tonight I had a NHS student share this: “Mr. Mainka, I am requesting a snow day tomorrow because Season 3 of Outer Banks drops tonight and me and the entire female population at NHS needs to watch all day tomorrow.” - Priceless

    What a moment today as the NHS Baseball team won their first MHSAA State Championship! This was years in the making - countless hours of BP, little league, travel ball, and it culminated in their dream of winning a title for their school! So proud of the coaches and boys!

    It was an honor to host Governor Whitmer today as our amazing NCSD parents, students, and staff members shared insights about current trends in public education at the Back to School Roundtable event. #NoviPride @GovWhitmer @NCSD

    My heart is so heavy for our friends at MSU right now. Praying for all families and people who are impacted by this horrific event. NCSD stands ready to support our families and alumni who are part of this situation, as well as others involved.

    My kids were excited when they got their new school uniforms for the rest of the school year! Their names are on the back as well. We only have 4 kids in our academy, but somehow it reminds me of teaching a classroom of 35 middle school kids! #staypositive ⁦@MASASupts⁩

    One of the truest tests of a person’s character is how they respond when things do not go their way. It is much harder to focus on what is going well in the midst of a setback. However, learning and growing through failure is one of life’s secret gifts - one I am thankful for!
