Superintendent of Schools

Ashland School District - Ashland, Oregon

Perhaps no small town in America – there are only 22,000 people who live here – offers as much cultural sophistication as Ashland does. Situated at the southernmost tip of Oregon’s scenic Rogue Valley, and just 15 miles from the state’s southern border, Ashland is stunningly beautiful and culturally rich.  As the home to the internationally renowned Oregon Shakespeare Festival, with Crater Lake National Park nearby, and with magnificent natural beauty and recreational opportunities in abundance, this charming town is one of a kind and only a stone’s throw from the regional center and transportation hub of Medford.  It boasts one of the state’s highest achieving school districts, and it is a college town as well — home to Southern Oregon University. 

The Ashland School District currently seeks a Superintendent of Schools to join our community on July 1, 2024.  Our job posting closes on December 28.

As all of our readers know, school district leadership is not easy work. But Ashland is a place of promise, where community support of schools in terms of funding and volunteership is enviable.  There’s a resounding belief in Ashland that we can accomplish great things. This is a community deeply invested in its schools.

For those of you who have never heard of or been to Ashland, here is a great video to watch, produced by a local businesswoman.  This a remarkable opportunity to lead in a truly extraordinary place.
