Aug 18    Business After Hours with special guest Dr. Eric G. Mackey
Dr. Eric G. Mackey currently serves as the State Superintendent of Education and he will be speaking on the Strategic Plan for Alabama Schools. This will not be a Q&A session or COVID-19 related.

Prior to serving as State Superintendent, he served as Executive Director of the School Superintendents of Alabama, the professional association for local school system executives in our state, for eight years. He began his career as a high school science teacher and then taught middle school science, where he discovered a passion for middle-level education that continues to inform and influence his perspectives to this day. He went on to serve as principal of Kitty Stone Elementary School and then Superintendent of Jacksonville City School System.

As State Superintendent, he is committed to focusing on issues that he has championed throughout his career, including a focus on numeracy and literacy in elementary grades; rigorous coursework and multiple opportunities for all students in middle grades; and varied pathways for student success, including strong career and technical education and college-level work in high school. He also believes that it is our obligation to make sure that students not only graduate, but are prepared for their next steps in life. This requires schools to help students develop good character, healthy lifestyles, and responsible citizenship.

He holds a bachelor’s degree from Jacksonville State University and Master’s, Education Specialist, and Doctoral degrees from The University of Alabama. Dr. Mackey is past president of the Montgomery Rotary Club, volunteers with Meals on Wheels, Boy Scouts, and teaches high school youth in Sunday School.
