This page was created to keep our community informed during the process of finding the next Superintendent for the Montgomery Public Schools and to ensure that opportunities for community input are available to all stakeholders.
As part of the superintendent search process, the MPS Board approved the Superintendent Search Firm Bid with HYA, a national education consulting firm, to carry out the Superintendent Search. The superintendent search process is anticipated to take three months.
The official job posting and application can be found here: https://hyasearch.com/job/superintendent-montgomery-public-schools-al/
The search is organized into four phases.
ENGAGE: The Engage phase consists of engaging the Board and community through interviews, survey, and focus groups. Information from these interactions assists in developing a Leadership Profile and selection criteria. This disciplined, inclusive and research-based approach ensures the entirety of the MPS community has the opportunity to be a part of the search process and provide valuable feedback about the strength, challenges and needs of MPS.
