Windsor Hires New Superintendent Of Schools

WINDSOR, CT — The Windsor Board of Education has appointed Dr. Terrell Hill as their next superintendent of schools, according to a statement. The board appointed Hill Tuesday following a comprehensive four-month search.

Hill, who is currently the interim superintendent of schools in the district, has been a part of the school community since his return to Windsor in July 2014.

In addition to his role as assistant superintendent over the past seven years, Hill had served as an assistant principal at Windsor High School from 2002 to 2009. Along with the leadership work Hill has done in Windsor, he was also the founder of the nationally recognized High School, Inc. program in Hartford from 2009 to 2014.

Hill completed his doctoral degree in Educational and Policy Leadership at the University of Massachusetts in 2018. In addition, he has multiple advanced degrees in administration from UMass and an undergraduate degree in Business Administration from Westfield State College.

The Windsor superintendent search attracted twenty-three applicants from nine states.

Eight candidates advanced to first round interviews resulting in three finalists.

Windsor Board of Education President Leonard Lockhart said in a statement, "We are pleased to welcome Dr. Hill as our new superintendent. This is a new chapter that all are eager to begin especially within the grasp of a pandemic. Dr. Hill's career and personal roots in Windsor, mixed with his extensive teaching and administrative experience, is the fit Windsor demanded during the search process. Windsor wishes Dr. Hill all the best."
