GREENWOOD, IN.– The Center Grove Community School Corporation Board of School Trustees voted to officially approve Dr. Erin Stalbaum as the district's next superintendent. She will succeed Dr. William Long, who is retiring at the end of June.

Dr. Stalbaum brings 20 years of experience in public education, including a decade in the classroom and leadership roles at the school, district, and state levels.

She began her career in Greenwood Schools, where she taught elementary and middle school, before serving as a senior school improvement specialist with the Indiana Department of Education. She later led district-wide academic initiatives for the Kokomo School Corporation.

Most recently, she served as Assistant Superintendent for Human Resources at the Bartholomew Consolidated School Corporation, following a role as Assistant Superintendent for Human Resources and Professional Development at the Monroe County Community School Corporation.

She, her husband, and their three sons have called Center Grove home for nearly eight years.
