I am so excited to begin my tenure as the Superintendent for the Meridian School District! I look forward to meeting and interacting with students, staff, parents, and community members throughout the school year. My wife (Jessica), our four children (Lyla, Beau, Mack, and Dewy), and I moved to the community this week and we have already been greeted by some of the nicest people we have ever met.
This year marks the beginning of my seventeenth year in education. I spent the last 5 years as the Superintendent for the Bluford School District near Mount Vernon. Prior to that, I spent seven years as a high school principal. The best part about working in a school is the kids. There is nothing like high fiving a line of kindergartners as they walk down the hallway! I look forward to meeting with staff throughout the district to learn about the needs of our students, staff, and community. I am a strong proponent of a collaborative approach to making progress. I am also a strong believer in servant leadership. As we begin the school year, my family and I will be active and involved with events throughout the district. Feel free to introduce yourself when you see me out and about.
I look forward to meeting the communities.
Best regards,
Dr. Shane Gordon

Online registration through Teacher Ease will then open on Tuesday, August 1 for all returning families.
