Superintendent

Job Description

The Potter’s House (TPH) in Grand Rapids, Michigan, is an innovative, urban, Christ-centered PK-12 school with a 44-year history of transforming lives through education. Currently serving 636 students, TPH provides a Christ-centered education for students of all ethnic heritages and income levels, equipping them to serve God and society to their fullest potential. Nearly 80% of families benefit from financial aid, reflecting the school’s commitment to advocate for and provide excellent, Christ-centered education in under-resourced neighborhoods. TPH is shaped around three core values: encountering the presence of Jesus, making disciples of Jesus, and embodying the Kingdom of God. 

The TPH Board is seeking a Superintendent to lead the school forward. While TPH consistently delivers exceptional outcomes in spiritual, emotional, and academic development, there is an opportunity for the next Superintendent to assess and enhance the academic program, bolster staff support and retention, foster a unified vision across all constituents, and provide funding for facility upgrades. 

The next Superintendent will have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and a passion for urban, Christ-centered education, with a unique leadership ability to amplify the school’s legacy and carry its mission and vision into the future. Educational leadership experience, strategic visionary thinking, passion for cultivating philanthropic partnerships, and teamwork leadership are key priorities to help TPH thrive into the future.
