Millard House II Named New PGCPS CEO

By Richard Elliott WI Contributing Reporter

On June 7, Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks (D) announced Millard House II as the new Prince George's County Public Schools CEO.

House II served two years as Houston schools superintendent and has only been out of that role for six days. His tenure has been praised by both Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner and teacher’s union leaders.

“Out of the superintendents I have worked with in Houston he was by far the best," said Jackie Anderson, president of the Houston Federation of Teachers.

The State of Texas is preparing for a state takeover of the Houston school district based on issues that predated his tenure.

“For the last few months, PGCPS has been conducting a national search for the next CEO of our school system,” said Alsobrooks. “It was national in scope and included both a search firm, and a search committee.”
