Viking Family----Please welcome Dr. George Seiler to the Mission Valley Family. The USD 330 Board of Education unanimously approved Dr. Seiler at a Special Board Meeting on January 20th as the next superintendent. Dr. Seiler will assume his duties on July 1, 2026.

My name is George Seiler, and I grew up in Timber Lake, S.D. My dad was a school superintendent for over thirty years, and I followed in his footsteps.

I graduated from South Dakota State University with a Bachelor's degree in Biology Education and a Master's in K-12 Principal Leadership. I went on to complete a specialist degree in Superintendent Leadership from the University of Sioux Falls and an Educational Doctorate in Superintendent Leadership from the University of South Dakota.

I started my career as a HS science teacher in Watertown, South Dakota, teaching Biology, Physical Science, Fundamentals of Physical Science, and alternative science. I coached junior high track and basketball while also teaching night school for students who had dropped out of Watertown. I was offered the position of 6-12 principal in the Kadoka school district, where my dad first entered educational administration, and I served for 3 years. I served as the superintendent and special services director in New Underwood for 4 years and as the Redfield school district superintendent for 4 years. For the last three years, I have served as the superintendent and special services director at the Bon Homme School District.

I am looking forward to working with the staff, students, and community of the Mission Valley school district to build on the district's success. I am moving to be closer to family and am excited to be in an area that reminds me of home, with the pastures and farmland. I enjoy the outdoors and spending time with my dog. I am excited to be a Mission Valley Viking!
