MCPS Superintendent Jack Smith
Montgomery County Public Schools announced Thursday that Superintendent Jack Smith will retire effective June 1.
Smith has served as superintendent for MCPS since July 2016 and is currently one year into his second term. Before joining the MCPS community he had worked as a lifelong educator as a teacher, principal, and former interim state superintendent for Maryland Schools.
Smith explained in a letter to MCPS staff members that he’s leaving for family reasons. His toddler-aged grandson had open-heart surgery in May 2019 and since then his wife relocated to Maine to support their daughter and son-in-law. Smith said he “can no longer tolerate living most of the time separately,” and he plans to join his wife in Maine.
