Humboldt USD 258’s bold focus on the future

Whether it’s the district’s Humboldt Promise program, the new Cubs Community Care Center, limiting cell phone use in schools, or improvements from a $17.5 million bond issue voters passed in 2022, Humboldt schools are rapidly retooling to meet students’ needs and prepare them for a changing world.

At the heart of it is Superintendent Dr. Amber Wheeler, now in her fifth year at the district. The changes, insists Wheeler, are because of an unrelenting focus on “doing what’s right for kids.”

In this week’s episode of “Registered,” we speak with Wheeler about how the district is transforming to meet the moment.
