LOWER DAUPHIN SUPERINTENDENT SEARCH UPDATE 6/18/2025

The search for the next superintendent of the Lower Dauphin School District is progressing, but a change has been made to the final round of the interview schedule.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, the second round of interviews, originally scheduled for Thursday, June 19—has been rescheduled for Monday, June 30.

Three finalists, selected from an initial pool of 18 applicants, will move forward to this final stage. As part of the process, candidates will meet with the district’s administrative cabinet and take part in a series of interviews with teachers and principals.

The district remains focused on identifying a candidate who reflects Lower Dauphin’s commitment to academic excellence and strong community partnerships. There is currently no timetable for a new superintendent to be selected, but the school board plans to wrap up the search soon after the final interviews. Further updates will be shared as the process moves forward.
