Attention, Green Bay! We've reached a crucial moment in our school district's journey. The future of our education system is in the hands of two exceptional candidates.
After an extensive nationwide search, the Green Bay Area Public School District has narrowed down its options to two finalists for the role of superintendent. Get ready to meet the individuals who could shape the educational landscape of our community.
Meet the Finalists:
Michael Hernandez: With a proven track record as the Assistant Superintendent of the Appleton Area School District, Hernandez brings a wealth of experience to the table. His expertise and dedication have already left a mark on Appleton's educational scene.
Dr. Michael E. Trimberger Jr.: As the current Superintendent of the School District of Random Lake, Trimberger has demonstrated exceptional leadership skills. His academic credentials and hands-on experience make him a strong contender for the Green Bay position.
But here's where it gets interesting...
Each candidate will have an opportunity to immerse themselves in our district's unique culture during their respective "Days in the District." This is your chance to engage directly with them and learn more about their vision for our schools.

The search for a new superintendent began back in February 2024 when Claude Tiller resigned. Vicki Bayer stepped in as the interim superintendent and later took on the role permanently until her retirement announcement in October. Now, we're at a crossroads, and it's up to our community to decide the path forward.
Controversy Alert:
Some may argue that the selection process has been too drawn-out, while others might question the need for such an extensive search. What do you think? Should we prioritize local talent or seek external expertise? Join the conversation in the comments and let's discuss the future of Green Bay's education together!
