The Trenton R-IX Board of Education has selected Mr. Daniel Gott as the new Trenton R-IX Superintendent. Mr. Gott will begin his duties as superintendent on July 1, 2022.
Mr. Gott most recently has served as the Trenton Middle School principal for six years. His previous positions include serving as high school and middle school social studies teacher.
“I am dedicated to the education profession and this community.” Mr. Gott said, “I work hard to build relationships with students, staff, colleagues, and parents. Throughout my time with the Trenton R-IX School District, I have been able to not only witness the qualities of a good administrator, but I have been able to put those qualities into practice as well by leading by example, creating a positive yet structured environment for staff and students, and inspiring students to become productive citizens and life-long learners while supporting the educators instructing them.”
Gott received a Bachelor of Science in History from Missouri Western State University as well as a Masters of Education in Administration and a Specialist in Education from William Woods University.
Mr. Gott and his family reside in Trenton. He and his wife Abby, a Title reading teacher at Rissler Elementary School, have three children: daughter Vivian will be in the third grade at Rissler Elementary School; son Hank will be in first grade at Rissler Elementary School; and daughter Edie is two years old.
Mrs. Dorothy Taul, Trenton R-9 Board of Education President, stated, “The Board believes that Mr. Gott displays the qualities to lead the district forward. He has proven himself in the past as an excellent teacher and principal with his leading by example model.”
