Meet our Finalists
After a comprehensive and robust nationwide search (see map above), led by Ray and Associates, Inc, the members of the Board of Education of the City of St. Louis are pleased to present three outstanding finalists.
Each finalist was taken on a guided tour of six schools across our district. They met with students and school staff individually and in small groups. They later were interviewed for the final time by the Board of Education and then sat for a videotaped interview with Dr. Karen Hall of Ray and Associates.
On this page, you will find the Board’s final presentation of the slate of candidates including their response to, “Why SLPS?”.
On behalf of the Board of Education, thank you for your participation and your support.
