Dear Pattonville families and staff,

It is with mixed emotions that I share the news that I have decided to retire at the conclusion of the 2021-2022 school year. After nearly 30 years in public education, I’m eager to spend more time with my family. 

Serving as superintendent the past four years has been the highlight of my professional career. Having the opportunity to return to the same community where I grew up and went to school is something I’ll always cherish. I’ve met so many wonderful people during the 21 years I’ve spent in Pattonville as an elementary principal, assistant superintendent, and now superintendent.

I want to thank the members of the board of education for their unwavering support during my tenure. Pattonville is in a great position to continue its long-lasting legacy of being a premier school district. More information will be provided soon regarding the search process for the next superintendent. 

I am committed and motivated as ever to ensure we have a successful 2021-2022 school year and I look forward to completing my final year like it was my first. Pattonville will forever be a special place to me. Once a Pirate, always a Pirate.

Sincerely,

Dr. Tim Pecoraro

Superintendent of Schools

Pattonville School District
