PreK-12 Leadership Searches

 

PreK-12 education recruitment search, image of elementary classroom.

At Summit Search Solutions, we understand that selecting the right leader is one of the most important decisions a district will ever make. Our dedicated consultants, Arasi Adkins and Todd LoFrese, bring a combined 40+ years of hands-on PreK-12 experience, including service as Assistant Superintendents in diverse school systems. This firsthand knowledge gives us a deep appreciation for the complex challenges districts face-and the transformative impact that strong, diverse leadership can have on students, families, and communities.

The demand for our expertise in the PreK-12 sector continues to grow because districts know we deliver:

  • Unmatched outreach to expand and diversify candidate pools – our competitors come nowhere close to our outreach
  • Market intelligence to help boards stay competitive on compensation
  • Tailored support to ensure a smooth, successful search process

When you partner with Summit, you gain more than a search firm – you gain a team that is passionate about education and committed to helping your district thrive.

Recent PreK-12 Searches Include:

  • Asheville City Schools – Superintendent
  • Bala House Montessori – School Director
  • Chicago Public Schools – National Principal Recruitment (7 metro regions)
  • Guilford County School – Superintendent
  • North Carolina School for Science & Mathematics – Chairs of Humanities, Science, and Mathematics
  • Portland Public Schools – Senior Director of Facilities & Asset Management; Director of Operations & Maintenance; Director of Project Management, Planning & Design
  • Winston-Salem/Forsyth-County Schools-Superintendent

Note: Senior Consultant, Arasi Adkins, is an AIRS Certified Diversity and Inclusion Recruiter (CDR), ensuring every search prioritizes equity and access.
