John A. Gotto, former Weldon Valley Superintendent, has passed away. John served as Weldon Valley Superintendent from 1999-2005. John’s educational leadership was paramount in the transformation of Weldon Valley School’s aging infrastructure into the modern facility students and staff enjoy today. John oversaw the 2004 construction of the current Weldon Valley Junior/Senior High addition partially funded by a capital construction grant that he authored. The school library located in the Junior/Senior addition is named in his honor. John was an educational leader that earned respect from the entire school community. His firm and common sense approach was a change maker in the overall improvement of the attitude of students, staff, parents and community members of Weldon Valley. John was always eager to foster a teaching moment with students and staff when that moment arose. His mentorship was a blessing to all who served with him. John’s legacy at Weldon Valley RE-20J will live on in memories and a wonderful facility that he spearheaded.
