Widefield School District selects new superintendent
(COLORADO SPRINGS) — Widefield School District 3 (WSD3) announced the finalist for WSD3’s superintendent as Aaron Hoffman a teacher of the district for 31 years.
“We are beyond excited to announce our new superintendent, a dedicated educator who has been part of our community for decades. Mr. Hoffman’s deep understanding of our unique culture and commitment to our values makes him the perfect leader to guide our schools into the future,” said Greg Fisher, president of the WSD3 Board of Education.
WSD3 said Hoffman was raised in the Widefield Community and attended South Elementary now known as Venetucci Elementary, Watson Junior High, and Widefield High School. After graduating from school in 1988, Hoffman went to Colorado State University on a music scholarship and got his bachelor’s degree in Math with an emphasis in Education.
Hoffman has since taught math, coached junior high and high school basketball, served as assistant principal and principal, and most recently been the Executive Director of Secondary Education.

Hoffman was one of two candidates for the position along with long-time Widefield education Kirk Vsetecka. Hoffman will take over the role of superintendent on July 1, 2024, after the current superintendent Kevin Duren retires.
