Havre Public Schools then-Interim Superintendent Craig Mueller speaks during a school board meeting at Havre Middle School March 23. Mueller, who the Havre Public Schools Board of Trustees selected for the superintendent position later in March, talked to Havre Daily News about working as assistant superintendent, interim superintendent and superintendent in less than 12 months during a pandemic.
Havre Public Schools Superintendent Craig Mueller has transitioned through three job titles in a year, all during the COVID-19 pandemic. When the pandemic first began, he was assistant superintendent and then, when previous Superintendent Andy Carlson left in July 2020, Mueller stepped into an interim superintendent role. Eventually, he would transition to the superintendent role after initially declining the position.

The Montana School Boards Association has been commissioned by Havre Public Schools to handle the ongoing search for a new district superintendent, and has recently put out a survey to the public asking for what they want to see in applicants for the position. The survey can be found at https://www.blueponyk12.com, and it asks about the capacity the person is responding in, their priorities and their desires in an applicant. Long-time Superintendent Andy Carlson resigned in June, and his assistant superintendent, Craig Mueller, accepted the position of interim superintendent effective July 1.
