About

Being a MASS member offers our small district invaluable benefits. We gain access to a vast network of educators, resources, and support. This helps us stay informed, collaborate, and advocate for our students while enhancing professional development and improving our district's overall success.

Being a member of MASS has been truly transformative, and I am continually appreciative for the wealth of knowledge, support, and inspiration it provides. The collaborative nature of our network has fostered a culture of continuous learning and growth. Whether through thought-provoking discussions, informative workshops, or engaging events, I have been able to enhance my leadership skills and stay updated on current trends and best practices.

The unwavering support and guidance provided by MASS has been instrumental in navigating the complexities of educational leadership. Their commitment to fostering collaboration and professional growth among superintendents has empowered us to implement innovative solutions and drive positive outcomes for our students. With their resources and expertise, we are better equipped to create enriching educational environments where every student can thrive.

MASS has been an invaluable resource for me over the years. Faced with unprecedented challenges – from COVID-19 to school safety to the management of advanced technology such as artificial intelligence – MASS has provided unwavering support. Through conferences, virtual sessions, and summits, they offer essential tools and resources, enabling me to navigate these complex times effectively and ensure our students thrive.

Having attended MASS conferences and been a member of MASS since 2008, I can say without hesitation that MASS is indeed the premier educational organization in the state of Mississippi. As a two-term MASS Board of Director's member, I have witnessed first-hand the professionalism of the MASS leadership, and I am confident that this organization will continue to provide Mississippi's superintendents and Alliance members with the highest quality professional development available.

Public education in this state is making strides thanks to MASS. The association has been instrumental to my growth as a superintendent as well as for many others. As a new superintendent, I was wrapped with support and encouragement, and bonds were built that transcend the professional space. Now, I'm committed to welcoming new leaders with the same care that ensures an even stronger tomorrow for our students.

From my first year as a superintendent to now, MASS has been the steady force in my development. It continuously provides timely topics through its conventions, facilitates networking with other leaders across the state, and provides meaningful leadership experiences in my journey. At its core, MASS is about relationships, and I am blessed to be a member of such an outstanding organization.

I have attended MASS both as an administrator and superintendent for many years. The networking opportunities are so important. Having the opportunity to share with others as we navigate through the complexities of many educational systems has been very rewarding.
