National Superintendents Roundtable, Schlechty Center

DR. STEVE McCAMMON is the executive director of the National Superintendents Roundtable. He is also the president and CEO of the Schlechty Center. In this dual leadership role, Steve is charged with leading a team of professionals to stay focused on the core values and beliefs of both organizations. In this capacity, Steve works closely with staff, network districts and schools, school boards, and educational partnerships to inspire organizations to think anew and to engage in the kinds of continuous innovation required to survive and thrive in our constantly changing environment. 

As an experienced superintendent, Steve understands what it means to be a moral and intellectual leader in a learning organization. He joined the Schlechty Center in 2013 after serving for 12 years as superintendent of schools in the Fife School District in Tacoma, Washington. Fife was the first district on the west coast and one of the leading districts in the nation to participate in the Standard-Bearer School District Network, a signature Schlechty Center initiative. 

Prior to becoming superintendent, Steve served as principal at Fife High School. He has extensive experience working in a variety of schools and districts. He was a Florida Teacher of the Year in 1992 while he was teaching in Union County, Florida. His experience also includes working as a senior associate at the Florida Department of Education in the Office of School Improvement, providing technical assistance to low-performing schools and school districts across the state. In 2021, the Schlechty Center became the legacy home of the National Superintendents Roundtable. Steve became the executive director during this transition. The Roundtable is a program of the Schlechty Center. Between the National Superintendents Roundtable and the Schlechty Center Superintendents Leadership Network, Steve works directly with over two hundred superintendents from across the nation.
