Pelican Rapids School District 548

Dear Pelican Rapids Families and Students,

I hope this message finds you well and that you enjoyed a relaxing and refreshing summer. As we prepare for the 2025–2026 school year, I want to extend a warm welcome back to all students and families in Pelican Rapids Schools.

My name is Mr. Davey Kosen, and I’m honored to begin my journey as your Dean of Students and Activities Director at Pelican Rapids Schools. I am excited to join the Viking community and partner with you in creating a school year filled with meaningful learning, strong relationships, and lasting memories—both inside and outside the classroom.

A bit about me: I graduated from DGF in 2005, where I was a three-sport athlete and a three-time All-State wrestler. I have taught and coached at DGF since 2011. Outside my professional life, I enjoy spending quality time with my family. My wife Madison and I have two children, Rocky (7) and Reese (2), and I’m also a proud father to Kayleb (17) and Kyson (13). As a family, we love being outdoors, attending sporting events, and relaxing at the lake.

Important Reminders as We Begin the New School Year:

Fall Activities & Athletics
Fall sports and extracurricular activities have begun! Please check the activities calendar on our website and follow our social media pages for updates and announcements.

Student Expectations
We are committed to upholding a positive and respectful school culture. The student handbook has been updated and will be reviewed during the first week of school. We encourage families to review it together.

Open Communication
Please feel free to reach out at any time with questions, concerns, or ideas. Your feedback is always valued.

At Pelican Rapids, we take great pride in the opportunities we offer our students to grow as learners, leaders, and members of our community. I look forward to working together to ensure a successful school year.

“Sun shines on the Vikings!”

Mr. Davey Kosen
Dean of Students & Activities Director
