Montgomery Public Schools - Montgomery Alabama
Montgomery, Alabama, a city steeped in the rich soil of struggle and triumph, calls forth a visionary leader to guide its schools and shape the destiny of its children. This is no ordinary city, for Montgomery has etched its name into the annals of history as the crucible of the Civil Rights Movement—a place where courage rose against oppression and hope marched hand-in-hand with justice. It was here that Rosa Parks sat with quiet defiance, sparking the Montgomery Bus Boycott. It was here that Dr. King himself called forth the nation’s conscience to heed the cries for equality. And it was here that the march toward a more just society found its footing on the steps of Dexter Avenue Baptist Church and echoed across the Edmund Pettus Bridge.
Today, Montgomery stands at another crossroads. The future of its children—its most precious resource—depends on the relentless vision and unwavering commitment of an extraordinary superintendent. It seeks a leader who believes, with every fiber of their being, in the transformative power of education to shatter the chains of poverty, to break the cycle of inequity, and to illuminate the path toward freedom.
The superintendent of Montgomery Public Schools must be more than an administrator; they must be a servant-leader, a torchbearer who carries the flame of justice into every classroom, every neighborhood, and every heart. This leader will see not just what is, but what could be—schools that are sanctuaries of learning, teachers who inspire boundless potential, and students who rise as agents of change.
Montgomery invites a leader who understands that education is the bedrock of liberation, the great equalizer, and the cornerstone of democracy. Its schools must be places where every child, regardless of race, creed, or circumstance, is nourished in mind, body, and soul. The superintendent must champion equity, empower educators, engage families, and galvanize communities to build a school system worthy of Montgomery’s legacy.
The Opportunity:
Montgomery Public Schools is home to over 28,000 students, a diverse tapestry of young minds who represent the promise of tomorrow. This is a chance to lead with courage, to innovate with purpose, and to inspire a generation that will carry Montgomery’s legacy forward.
If you believe that education is not just a job but a calling—if you are ready to serve as the drum major for justice in education—then Montgomery, Alabama, is calling you. Answer the call, and together, let us bend the arc of history once more toward justice, starting in the classrooms of this historic city.
