Superintendent Search
The Board of Education has begun the search for our next Superintendent, partnering with School Leadership, LLC to ensure a comprehensive and transparent process. Our goal is to select a leader who aligns with our District’s Vision, Mission, and Portrait of a Graduate.
Community input is vital, and stakeholders will have the opportunity to share the qualities and skills they value in a superintendent.
