Mobile County Public Schools issued the following announcement on Oct. 21.
Mobile County Public Schools Superintendent Chresal Threadgill was recently named Alabama's Superintendent of the Year. He was recognized this month at the School Superintendents of Alabama conference in Florence for his leadership, particularly throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Very seldomly am I speechless, but , I am speechless," Mr. Threadgill said after being presented with the honor. "Beyond anything, I am both humble and grateful for the opportunity to represent the State of Alabama. Thanks to each individual who has supported me and those whose shoulders I stand upon who have mentored me along the way. Today is only the beginning of continuing my passion and dedication to the education of children. I am proud of Mobile County Public Schools and the opportunity to bring this recognition home to #TeamMCPSSS, and to Mobile, Alabama. I am truly blessed beyond measure to represent not myself but the entire MCPSS family as Superintendent of the Year for the State of Alabama! It is a great day for Mobile County."
Mr. Threadgill, a Mobile native and LeFlore High graduate, has been MCPSS Superintendent since 2018. He holds a bachelor's degree from Troy State University and a master's degree in educational leadership from Alabama State University. He has been an educator for 22 years, working his way up from teacher to principal to superintendent. Before returning to Mobile, he had served as Superintendent of Elba City Schools.
