MacArthur New Principal Search

We want to thank you for your continued interest in finding the next principal of Douglas MacArthur Elementary School. This week, the Department of Human Resources posted the position publicly and will be reaching out to ensure we get the best candidates possible. You can review the job posting online.

Please complete a short online survey to help us identify candidates with the best fit for your school.

In January, ACPS will begin the initial screenings based upon characteristics identified through conversations with parents and staff. In February, we will identify the top two to three potential candidates, and conduct background checks and social media checks.

In March, the potential candidates will tour the school and be interviewed by two separate panels. They will also meet the superintendent one-on-one. The final candidate will be approved by the School Board in the spring. We will keep you updated throughout the process.
