POSITION

Corunna Public Schools is looking for a Middle School Assistant Principal & Assistant Coordinator of Special Education. Start date no later than July 28, 2026. We are looking to hire only the best.

JOB DESCRIPTION

This hybrid role supports the coordination and implementation of special education services across the district while assisting with student support systems, school culture, and instructional leadership at the middle school level (grades 4-7). This position is designed to build leadership capacity while ensuring high-quality services for all learners.

JOB / DISTRICT / COMMUNITY HIGHLIGHTS

Corunna Public Schools is looking for the best person available. Our district lives its mission statement of preparing an unprecedented number of students to be college and/or career-ready daily. Our district is known for offering quality education in a small-town environment with the amenities of a larger community (our district buildings are five minutes away from Applebee’s, Culver’s, Meijer, Wal-Mart, etc.).

Our county’s cost of living is incredibly low. We are a class “B” school (around 125 students per grade level) with a reputation for higher standards. We have an award-winning inclusive preschool. Our school is the community “hub,” and Homecoming is still a big deal in our small town, which is the county seat. Our community is incredibly supportive of our district as well. We have high-achieving athletic teams and award-winning extra-curricular programs. Despite having many students coming to us via school of choice, our constituents have passed a pair of bond proposals since 2015.

All active Corunna employees can enroll themselves and their family in the state’s first on-site Cavalier Family Health Clinic (pictured at right). The clinic’s goal is to provide (in almost all situations) free visits, free prescriptions, and other medical procedures for the active employee and her/his immediate family members.
