Superintendent of Schools

HCPS will measure success by ensuring students graduate prepared for their future: employed, enlisted, or enrolled in postsecondary opportunities. This is about ensuring that every student leaves HCPS with a pathway and a purpose.

CORE FOCUS

INSTRUCTIONAL EXCELLENCE

delivering high-quality materials, effective instruction, strong recruitment practices

POSITIVE CULTURE AND CLIMATE

prioritizing student voice, fostering a sense of belonging, strengthening family and community connections

OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY

strengthening communication, safety, budget stewardship, service

Dr. Mack’s superintendency will focus on student success, with the goal that every graduate is prepared to be employed in a career with growth opportunities, enlisted in the military, or enrolled in postsecondary education. Her core priorities include instructional excellence, positive culture and climate, and operational efficiency. Dr. Mack’s initial focus will be on listening, setting a shared vision, and aligning priorities with students, staff, families, the Board of Education, and community partners. Over the first six months, she will make strategic decisions, set measurable goals, and focus on continuous improvement.

Dr. Mack’s vision, “Ready by Design,” is centered on the belief that student readiness is not accidental. It must be intentionally planned, supported, and carried out across the entire school system. Her work will focus on ensuring every element of HCPS, including academics, operations, human resources, safety, family engagement, and community partnerships, is designed to help every student succeed.

On September 29, 2026, Dr. Mack shared her vision with the state board of education.

Community Conversations

Families, staff, students, and community members joined Dr. Mack and her team for four Community Conversations in October and November. In each conversation, Dr. Mack discussed her strategic plan, budget, and partnering with parents, and attendees shared feedback, asked questions, and helped shape the future of HCPS. If you missed the conversations, you can view Dr. Mack’s presentation below.
