Dr. Robert Bostick, superintendent of Stafford Municipal School District, announced he will retire at the end of 2025 after 12 years leading the district.
District leaders, faculty, staff and family gathered to celebrate Bostick’s tenure and to reflect on accomplishments under his leadership, including expansion of academic programs and growth in arts, athletics and STEM offerings.
“Even if other people don't care about it, I care about it,” Bostick said at the gathering, describing his attention to details from operations to personnel. “We are one. We are one family,” he added, summarizing the unity he said the district built during his time in office.
Speakers at the event included Bostick’s wife, Ellen Bostick, and his son, Ethan Bostick, who spoke about his father’s dedication and the personal impact of his work. District remarks credited Bostick with advancing the STEM Magnet Academy and with fostering opportunities across arts and athletics, though no specific new policy or personnel plan tied to the retirement was announced at the event.
The announcement framed the retirement as effective “at the end of this year.” District representatives cited Bostick’s role in promoting student success and said the district will share details about any transitional plans or search process for a successor separately.
A formal timeline for a superintendent search, interim leadership assignments or a start date for a successor was not specified at the gathering.
Looking ahead, district officials and community members said they plan to honor Bostick’s legacy while continuing work on programs begun during his tenure.
