Welcome to Atlantic Community School District

Superintendent’s Message

It is a great honor to serve as the Superintendent of the Atlantic Community School District. Our school district has a long-standing reputation for excellence in academics, extra-curricular activities, and leadership development.

The Atlantic CSD School Board strives for excellence in our students’ academic performance, athletic, art, band and choir programs and requires tremendous faculty, staff and community dedication and effort. Pride and support for the Atlantic Community Schools is evident throughout this community.

Student enrollment in Atlantic CSD continues to climb for the third straight year and our students are housed in our four student centers. These student centers are Atlantic High School, Atlantic Middle School, Schuler Elementary and Washington Elementary. In addition, the district also supports and operates the Cass County Educational Opportunity Center and Link Center.

Together, the Atlantic Community has created a “school district of opportunities”. As a school district we are committed to providing the opportunity for educational excellence to each student. We strive to prepare each student to meet the personal, community and global challenges of the future.

Come and visit us in the town of Atlantic and its historical downtown merchants. We are a community proud of our past and working cooperatively to build a better future for all students.

Sincerely,

Dr. Michael K. Amstein
