2025-26 League of Innovative Schools Cohort Members

The League selected this year’s new members based on their educational leadership, demonstrated commitment to excellence, innovative vision for learning, key achievements, and collaborative spirit. Members of this new cohort are engaging communities and families around strategic planning, taking a holistic approach to student mental health and well-being, preparing high school students for a changing workforce, and more.

Through their membership in the League, superintendents and leaders from these new districts will help shape the future of teaching and learning through hands-on opportunities to collaborate, connect, and learn. Alongside fellow League members, these leaders will access unique opportunities to co-create, pilot, and scale innovative practices, apply learnings to their own districts, and identify and promote promising practices to other districts across the country.

Hear from the superintendents of this year’s district cohort as they share how their districts are prioritizing innovation:

“Boone county School District recognizes that all children can learn and we dedicate our district to providing a challenging educational environment that allows each student to achieve his or her highest potential as a learner and a citizen. We believe it is our foundational commitment to encourage and inspire our students through education to become contributing citizens to the world. ” Dr. Jeff Hauswald - Superintendent, Boone County School District (KY)
