With the upcoming retirement of Superintendent Mark Mow, Elkhart Community Schools is preparing to begin a new chapter in the history of Elkhart County’s largest public school district.

We have begun a national search to find an exceptional school leader, one who will combine the strengths of our current superintendent with those attributes the community told us are most important to them. These include a willingness to objectively assess Elkhart instructional initiatives now in place, to support those which are effective, to identify alternatives for those which are not, and to continue the district’s focus on continuous academic improvement.

Students, parents, staff members, and community leaders also told us they desire a school leader who has demonstrated effectiveness as a superintendent, has the ability and willingness to build community relationships quickly, has experience working in an ethnically and socioeconomically diverse setting, and has a detailed understanding of financial and budget issues, as well as recent legislative developments pertaining to Indiana’s public education system.

Qualified candidates will have until March 2 to apply for the position. The Elkhart Board of School Trustees will then review applications, conduct interviews, and make a selection. The new superintendent will begin his/her duties in July.

Information about the open position and a downloadable application are available here.
