Dr. Jason Snodgrass is the Superintendent of Schools for the Fort Osage R-1 School District. Dr. Snodgrass came to the district in 2009 and served as the high school principal for six years before his current position as superintendent.
Dr. Snodgrass’ personal motto is “We do things just a little bit better”. Whether it is in the classroom or on a sports field, he inspires enthusiasm in students, staff and the community to be their best and give their all. Both student and staff success is a high priority for Dr. Snodgrass. As the Fort Osage High School Principal, Dr. Snodgrass increased the student attendance rate, increased the graduation rate from 85.9% to 99.2%, and increased the number of students taking the ACT by 10%. Course rigor was enhanced by increasing advanced placement courses and implementing 21 additional weighted courses resulting in the percentage of students scoring above the national average on the ACT from 29% to 35%. College and career readiness has been a primary goal for Dr. Snodgrass and the increased number of students receiving post-secondary education is a direct result of his focus on student success.
Dr. Snodgrass served as the Greater Kansas City Principal of the Year in 2013 and was voted as the Missouri High School Principal of the Year in 2014. A few of Dr. Snodgrass’s goals as superintendent are to continue to have successful academic achievement for all students and to create additional revenue for the district through economic development. He and his wife, Jodie, are the proud parents of five children who attend school in the Fort Osage School District and are active members in the Fort Osage community.
