Superintendent – Milton, MA

Milton Public Schools in Milton, Massachusetts, located just south of Boston, seeks an experienced and visionary leader to serve as its next Superintendent of Schools. This is a unique opportunity to lead a high-performing PreK–12 school district serving approximately 4,350 students across six schools. Our community deeply values educational excellence, equity, collaboration, and the holistic development of all students.

Incorporated in 1662, Milton is a vibrant suburban community in eastern Massachusetts that prides itself on its rich diversity, historic charm, distinctive character, and natural surroundings.

Milton’s geography is unique – it borders the City of Boston and is home to significant portions of the Blue Hills Reservation, giving it the most privately and publicly held conservation land within 20 miles of Boston. This combination gives the town a bucolic atmosphere and close-knit community feel in close proximity to the cultural, educational, and professional opportunities in the Greater Boston area.

Milton residents have convenient access to major highways such as Route 128, Interstate 93 and Interstate 95, as well as access to the Red Line T into Boston via the Mattapan Trolley.

Families and community members are actively involved in the life of the town and its schools. Active parent-teacher organizations, youth sports leagues, enrichment programs, and civic groups contribute to a welcoming and supportive environment for students and families across the district.

Milton Public Schools envision a district with excellent instruction in every classroom, where learning experiences are aligned with students’ individual strengths and needs, and where attention to academic and social-emotional growth are balanced so that every child achieves at high levels and develops a strong sense of self and belonging in schools that are safe and supportive for all. We see a district of intellectual discourse and learning at all levels – students, faculty, and administration – with systems and processes for continual reflection, innovation, and data-driven decision-making.

We know that such a district is achievable if: we facilitate instruction that instills a passion for learning, curiosity, and critical thinking skills; we are committed to cultural competency; we foster a positive approach to the behavioral health of children; and we build strong partnerships with families and the community.

Serving approximately 4,350 students across four elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school, Milton Public Schools employs approximately 518 employees, with an annual budget in FY27 of $75,. The district has a strong record of student success and is committed to providing a supportive, inclusive, and academically challenging learning environment for all students. The district serves students with a wide range of backgrounds, strengths, interests, and learning needs, with approximately 17% of students receiving special education services and 28% identified as high needs.

In Milton Public Schools, we know that our diversity is our strength. Dedicated to educational equity, continuous improvement, whole-child development, data-informed decision-making, and strong social-emotional support, Milton Public Schools works to prepare every student to succeed in higher education, careers, and global citizenship.
