MPS hosts principal recruitment information session

MILWAUKEE (WITI) -- Highly-qualified candidates looking to take on a school leadership role in Milwaukee Public Schools were invited to the district’s principal recruitment information session Wednesday, March 20th.

MPS expects to hire more than a dozen new principals through the current hiring season.

The session was set for 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Wednesday, March 20 in the auditorium at MPS Central Services, 5225 W. Vliet Street, Milwaukee 53208.

Milwaukee Public Schools has posted a 17-percentage-point gain in its graduation rate between 2000 and 2011; it hosts three of the state’s ten best high schools according to U.S. News and World Report; and a majority of MPS schools are growing student achievement better than or at least roughly as well as the state as a whole according to new state report cards.

Milwaukee Public Schools offers a strong curriculum tied to the rigorous Common Core State Standards, which Wisconsin and more than 40 other states have implemented to prepare students for success in college and careers.

“With the strong academic reforms we’ve put in place and our commitment to excellence, we are dedicated to being the employer of choice for the best and brightest educators and support staff for our students,” MPS Superintendent Gregory Thornton said.
