HAMILTON COUNTY — Hamilton Southeastern Schools Superintendent Pat Mapes announced on Monday that he is stepping down after two years. Mapes will leave on April 13.
According to the press release, Mapes was appointed to lead the district in February 2024 and launched the district's Innovate 2028 strategic plan.
“My entire career in public education has been about serving students,” said Mapes in a statement. “At Hamilton Southeastern, that has been no different. HSE students are exceptional and serving them has been a privilege.”
