Dr. Taylor was appointed Superintendent July 1, 2025.

Dr. Taylor serves 1 preschool, 8 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, 1 high school, 1 career center, and alternative and support programs. A fierce advocate for public education, Dr. Taylor believes that when a school community of diverse stakeholders collectively commit to improving student achievement, all of our children can and will succeed. He also believes that central to that collective commitment is exemplary leadership.

The vision for his leadership is to ensure we have high impact schools for all children by simplifying, aligning, and supporting many areas that impact teaching and learning in our schools. Whether it is curriculum, technology, policy, student services, or transportation, his priority is to make sure all arrows are pointing in the same direction to best serve our future-ready panthers and families in the most cohesive and collaborative manner.
