The Hickman Mills C-1 School Board has selected who they would like to be the next superintendent, according to a news release from the school district.
After a unanimous 6-0 vote, the school board will enter into negotiations with Yolanda Cargile, Ed.D., this week. Cargile currently serves as HMC-1’s associate superintendent of school services.
“I feel a great sense of pride as it is truly an honor to be selected as the next superintendent of Hickman Mills C-1 School District. As I embark on this new journey, I am guided by a firm belief that ‘It starts with me’ and ‘Failure is not an option!’” Cargile said in the news release. “I look forward to working with the Board, administration, staff, parents, students, and community to continue to build on our strong foundation for the future of the district.”
Cargile will succeed current superintendent Dennis Carpenter. Carpenter is leaving the district at the end of June to serve as superintendent in the Lee’s Summit School District.
“It is Dr. Cargile’s extensive knowledge, experience, and leadership that makes her the ideal selection for our next superintendent of HMC-1,” said Board President Darrell Curls, speaking on behalf of the Board, in a news release. “She has been part of all recent initiatives. I am confident she will continue to move our district goals forward and improve student performance, while providing leadership and guidance throughout the district and community. To top it off, she is a Ruskin graduate!”
