Paul McKendrick, ED. D., a graduate of The Harvard University Graduate School of Education and an award-winning former superintendent, founded The Mack Leadership Group (MLG). We work with school boards and school leaders in helping them achieve sustainable improvement of teaching and learning, strategic leadership, and mission-driven actions. McKendrick is an expert in school turn-around practices, urban school improvement, instructional leadership, and leadership development. In fact, during his two tenures as a superintendent, 41 of 42 schools met state accountability measures. Also, more than 60 percent of his clients, including aspiring and newly-appointed school leaders, have  advanced to executive levels.  Six of former executive team members became superintendents. Three of those staff later became assistant superintendents for the state department of education.
 

An educator with more than 35 years of experience, he served as an executive staff member for more than 20 years. Twelve of those years were as a successful school superintendent. In 2016, he was nominated for Alabama superintendent-of-the-year. 

He has also worked as a consultant for a national superintendent search firm.  

MLG’s work is grounded in clarity, collaboration, measurable results, and improving student achievement and children’s lives.
