Justin Robertson has built his career by taking on challenges that pushed him to grow and relying on his survival instincts along the way.
In this episode, he shares how he navigated the sudden elimination of 43 assistant principal positions early in his career, how persistence and smart networking carried him from teacher to principal to superintendent, and why he’s doubling down on K-2 literacy and expanding Future Ready Centers.
Dr. Justin Robertson is the Superintendent of Hamilton County Schools. You can learn more about Dr. Robertson and Hamilton County Schools’ Leadership Team on their website: https://hcde.org/our-leadership/
