Grant County Schools is welcoming a new superintendent.
After a unanimous decision by the Grant County Board of Education, Todd Moody has been named as the district’s fourteenth Superintendent.
Moody began his career at Grant County Schools in 2019, serving as Principal of Mason-Corinth Elementary. In 2022, Moody transitioned to Principal at Grant County High School.
“We will not maximize our potential until we embrace the idea that any student in Grant County belongs to all faculty and staff of Grant County Schools and we will work together to maximize their academic achievement,” said Moody.
According to a press release, Moody’s goals for his new role include enhancing educational opportunities and continuing to expose the possibilities that exist for students in the college and career readiness landscape.
“During the interview process, Mr. Moody provided the board with a plan and vision of what Grant County Schools can become. His plans for our district will be achieved through Collaboration, Communication, and Climate,” said Board Chairperson, Lisa Smith.
To further build the college and career readiness of Grant County students, Moody believes the district needs to continue surveying the community and area employers to ensure the school system is offering pathways that lead to real employment opportunities.
“There is no overestimating the impact of a strong school board-superintendent relationship when it is focused on shaping the future of a community,” said Moody. “It is our privilege to work together to remove as many limitations and equip our students to become self-actualized as they enact their rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”
Moody will officially begin his new role on July 1, 2024, upon the retirement of the current Superintendent, Matthew Morgan.
