Superintendent Loren Dunk

In June of 2022 I retired from education after 31 years of being a teacher, coach, athletic director, principal and superintendent. I worked at schools in Flaxville, Outlook, Savage and spent the final 13 years at Power where I still live with my wife Rochelle and our puggle, Maude. Rochelle and I have five children and six grandchildren. 

In December 2022, I had the pleasure of beginning to work as the Vaughn Elementary superintendent. I work on a part-time basis and have been spending Mondays and Tuesdays in the school office and working from my home in Power the other days. It’s been a nice change for me to be able to concentrate solely on superintendent duties. For the previous 18 years I had served as the K-12 principal and district superintendent at my other schools. I appreciate all of the help the principal, teachers, support staff and trustees have given me as I get acquainted with my new position in Vaughn. I look forward to meeting the students and stakeholders of the school and the challenge of helping to keep the school district moving forward in a positive direction.

If you have questions, please don’t hesitate to email me at or stop in to visit with me on the days I am in the office.
