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.
