The Baltimore County Board of Education has officially approved the contract for Dr. William Heiser, who will take on the role of superintendent for Baltimore County Public Schools starting this week.
Dr. Heiser's appointment follows the retirement of Myriam Rogers, who held the superintendent position since 2023. Rogers announced her decision to retire in February.
Before his new role, Dr. Heiser served as the Chief Operating Officer for Anne Arundel County Public Schools. His selection came after a comprehensive nationwide search that considered multiple candidates, ultimately leading to his appointment over three other finalists.
During a recent public forum, Dr. Heiser expressed his commitment to educational leadership, stating, "I am an instructional leader, but now with an operational vision as well." He emphasized his enthusiasm for serving the students of Baltimore County and his goal of enhancing the school system's reputation.
Dr. Heiser has extensive experience in various educational roles across three Maryland school districts. Notably, he was recognized as the Maryland High School Principal of the Year in 2013.
In his remarks, he affirmed his dedication to collaborating with stakeholders to build upon the achievements made under Dr. Rogers' leadership, expressing confidence in the potential to elevate the school system further.
