In this episode of Superintendents Unplugged, host and Strategos Partner Addison Davis sits down with Dr. Errick L. Greene, Superintendent of Jackson Public Schools, for an unflinching, inspiring, and deeply human conversation on transformational leadership in public education.
Dr. Greene, appointed in 2018 at a time when Jackson Public Schools faced a looming state takeover and systemic underperformance, shares the story of how he and his team rebuilt a struggling district into a rising model of academic and organizational reform. Under his leadership, the district climbed two full letter grades in the state’s accountability system and boosted its graduation rate by 14 points—its highest in over a decade. From expanding early childhood education to championing tough but necessary school consolidations, Dr. Greene’s bold decisions were rooted in community engagement, strategic vision, and relentless commitment to equity.
With over 30 years in education—from the classroom in Baltimore to district leadership in D.C., Tulsa, and beyond—Dr. Greene reflects on how his own journey shaped his approach to systems change, team building, and sustaining leadership through adversity. He talks candidly about imposter syndrome, the weight of expectations, and the importance of surrounding yourself with people who push you to grow.
Whether you're an aspiring superintendent or a veteran educator, this episode offers real talk, hard-won wisdom, and an authentic glimpse into what it takes to lead with courage and purpose. Dr. Greene doesn’t just lead a district—he models how to lead a movement.
