July 31, 2025
The Public School Superintendents' Association of Maryland is proud to highlight that SchoolCEO magazine’s Summer 2025 issue features Dr. Thomas Taylor, Superintendent of Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS). The profile highlights Dr. Taylor’s dynamic leadership, student-centered vision, and the values he brings to one of the nation’s largest school districts.
The article, titled “Southern Hospitality,” offers a compelling look at his journey and the strategic priorities shaping MCPS under his leadership.
"For Taylor, students come first. 'The greatest job that you could possibly have is to get to interact with kids,' he says. However, the rest of the MCPS community is just as important. The way forward, as he sees it, is to focus on the “customer” experience so everyone in the district feels welcomed, respected, encouraged and supported. 'There is already a great affinity for the brand that is Montgomery County Public Schools. It’s taken some knocks in recent years, but I think I can win my customers back if we just keep doing what we’ve been doing over the last year,' says Taylor. And if it’s up to him, he’s going to keep doing what he’s been doing for as long as MCPS will have him. 'I am literally having the time of my life,' he says. 'I love every minute of what I am doing every day.'"
