<strong>Polaris Tech searching for executive director</strong>

A national search is under way for the next executive director at Polaris Tech Charter School in Ridgeland.

“As a state charter school for college and career-prep, Polaris Tech is already different from most other middle and high schools,” said retired four-star Air Force Gen. Lloyd “Fig” Newton, chair of the Polaris Tech Board of Directors.

“Because of the way we’ve always used technology for daily learning, including virtual classes, when COVID-19 hit, our learners and teachers made a seamless transition to working remotely. I’m proud of that, and it puts Polaris Tech in some pretty good company when it comes to seeking great candidates to be our next executive director,” Newton said.

Details about the job and how to apply are online at www.polaristech.org. Applications are being accepted through Feb. 5, 2021, and the school is seeking candidates with successful education experience as well as candidates from the non-profit and business world.

The position came open when Dr. Melissa Crosby, the school’s first leader, resigned in November due to family medical concerns not related to the coronavirus.
