 Superintendent’s Message

Welcome to our school district’s website, and thank you for taking the time to learn more aboStratford ISD.

As Superintendent, I am proud to serve the Stratford students, teachers, staff, parents and
community. Our schools are filled with passionate educators, caring staff, and bright,
hardworking students. In Stratford, you cannot separate the school from the community. We are
all Stratford Elks, and we are all blessed to live in Stratford.

As I begin my 34th year in public education, I am as excited to start this new school year as I
was when I first entered the profession. Stratford students are the best of the best, and our
teachers and staff are incredibly hardworking and dedicated. The combination of our amazing
students, teachers, and staff is a recipe for an outstanding school year. I look forward to the
2026-27 school year being filled with growth and success. I commit that we will stand with our
students during this year, and I look forward to partnering with our parents to ensure the best
possible experience for all of our students.

Once an Elk, Always an Elk.

Paul Uttley, Ed.D.
Superintendent
