The Lansing School District serves over 10,000 PreK-12 students across 25 school buildings in the increasingly diverse urban community of Lansing, MI. We are unique compared to other districts because of the wide variety of exciting and innovative educational options from which families and staff members can choose. All of Lansing School District’s team members are dedicated to our mission to provide an excellent education to all students in a safe and nurturing environment.
In pursuit of this mission, we are hiring a Principal. Principals in the Lansing School District own their building's instruction, culture, and community engagement. Principals develop teachers through observations, professional development, and evaluation. They will also develop relationships with students and families, creating and supporting schoolwide behavior intervention systems. Principals work hand in hand with Executive Team members to ensure the success of their schools day in and day out.
