Superintendent Search
Cedar Springs Public Schools is beginning the search for our next superintendent. We are committed to a thoughtful and transparent process that reflects our district's values and the voices of our students, staff, families and community.
This page will serve as the central location for superintendent search updates throughout the process. As information becomes available, we will share important dates, application information, community engagement opportunities and Board of Education updates.
