Dr. James "Jamie" Nold
SIOUX FALLS, SD (KELO.com) — The Sioux Falls School Board is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. James (Jamie) Nold as the next superintendent of the Sioux Falls School District. Dr. Nold is no stranger to the district, having arrived in 1995 as a math teacher and coach at Washington High School before becoming an assistant principal at Lincoln High School, then moving on to become principal at Washington High School. For the past nine years, Dr. Nold has been the district’s assistant superintendent of administrative services.
Dr. Nold was selected following a very successful call for community input coordinated by the educational leadership search firm of Hazard, Young, Attea Associates. Survey results clearly revealed that students, staff, parents, and community members wanted the next leader to be someone who understands and upholds the educational excellence of the district, knows the City of Sioux Falls, and the needs of South Dakota. The search consultant reported to the Board that several hundred survey respondents and online meeting participants point-blank recommended the hiring of Dr. Nold, saying they would be delighted for the opportunity to work with him in this role. The Board makes this appointment with strong confidence and the firm belief that even a nationwide search would not have attracted a more qualified candidate.
“I am truly humbled and honored to continue partnering with the Board, our dedicated educators, staff, students, and families in this new role as superintendent,” said Dr. Jamie Nold. “Our public schools are exceptional and offer so much to meet the needs of each learner. I look forward to building on the strong foundations laid by previous administrations, including Drs. Jane Stavem, Brian Maher, and Pam Homan. These leaders poured their hearts into the Sioux Falls School District and have modeled for me how continued collaboration can elevate the success of Sioux Falls students.”
Dr. Nold assumes his new position July 1, 2025, following the resignation of Dr. Jane Stavem, who served as superintendent since July 1, 2020.
