Welcome to the 2026-27 school year at Warren-Alvarado-Oslo! My name is Bryan Hackbarth and it is my honor to be your superintendent. I started here in 2024, and my experience at WAO has been absolutely terrific! In a short period of time, I have gotten
to know so many of you and I look forward to more of that this school year. At WAO, I know that I am part of a school/community with lots of pride, support, and hardworking people. I am committed to working alongside the WAO school board, staff,
students, and our families as we build upon all the things that make WAO great! The building project has been completed and we have updated our District Strategic Plan. We have also added an additional staff development day and early release PLC
days to support our staff and promote growth. I believe there is no better time than now to “move the needle” at WAO and I can’t wait to see where it takes us! I am a leader who believes in building relationships that lead to collaboration, support, and trust. I want to work with all stakeholders to realize the vision and goals for our
schools at WAO. By working as a team and supporting one another, I know we can accomplish anything we set out to do.
I am so thankful for all of the support the WAO community has for our students, staff, and schools. I am very grateful for this opportunity and as your superintendent, I will do all I can to
make sure we are striving to get better each day.
Please feel free to contact me any time.
LET’S GO PONIES!!!
