Superintendent Search Information

The Thornapple Kellogg Schools Board of Education is beginning the task of searching for the district’s new Superintendent of Schools, as Mr. Craig McCarthy has retired as of December 31, 2024.  Mr. Tom Enslen is serving as the interim Superintendent.

 

The selection process, up to and including the appointment of a new Superintendent, is extremely important to ensure the ongoing success of the district.  In addition to the Board of Education, staff and community groups can play a very important role in the search process. The Board will be assisted by the Michigan Leadership Institute during this process.  Andy Ingall, Regional President of Southwest Michigan - Michigan Leadership Institute will facilitate the search.

 

Excellent schools with satisfied students, parents and staff are assisted by high quality educational leadership.  Few aspects of the educational system are as important as the quality of leadership provided by the Superintendent.  Therefore, the candidates for this position will be expected to possess and demonstrate many qualifications, skills and abilities, including the ability to help forge strong partnerships with teachers, students, parents and community.

 

The first opportunity for staff, parents and community to provide input is via a short survey.  The survey will be available January 24 and will close at midnight on February 9.  All input on the survey will be collected anonymously. The Board of Education thanks you in advance for the input.
