Hutto ISD Superintendent Search

  • On May 11, the Hutto ISD Board of Trustees accepted the retirement announcement of Dr. Celina Estrada Thomas, thus launching the search for the next leader of Hippo Nation. On May 31, the board selected JG Consulting as the third party search firm to lead the effort to find the next Superintendent of Hippo Nation. This web page will be updated as the search progresses. 

  • Hutto ISD Trustees have selected to partner with JG Consulting to lead the search. Hutto ISD Trustees are committed to a transparent process that encourages feedback from everyone in the community. Join us by participating in a survey and attending one of our Community Meetings to share your thoughts about the qualities you wish to see in our next leader.

  • Message from Billie Logiudice, Board President

    “As we look forward to what’s to come, I’d like to assure our community and stakeholders that this board will commit to do our due diligence in seeking the next person to lead the efforts of the quality public education we have come to be accustomed to here in Hippo Nation. The search will consist of heavy staff, community, business and stakeholder involvement through surveys, focus groups and informational sessions as we craft the profile of who would be the best fit for the next season of Hutto ISD. Our school district and community is a highly desired place and I believe that is a direct result of the excellent teaching, learning and leadership we continue to experience as a result of the commitment by the people that show up wearing a Hutto ISD badge every day! We are prepared to work closely with our Communications Department as we proactively share where we are during each step of the process in our search.”
