Office of Talent Acquisition-Leadership

In preparation for anticipated vacancies, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools maintains a pool of potential candidates who have demonstrated their qualifications for principal and/or assistant principal roles through a rigorous talent pool selection process. When a new vacancy for principal or assistant principal is confirmed, candidates in the Principal and Assistant Principal Talent Pools will be invited to apply. 

We are committed to maintaining a transparent selection process and honoring the professionalism of CMS school executives. Therefore, our process is designed to provide applicants with the opportunity to demonstrate their qualifications in relation to the role's requirements. Candidates may apply once per academic year. 

We ask that candidates keep their resume and email address up to date in our online employment application system. All communication regarding administrative vacancies within CMS is sent through our online application system to members of the Assistant Principal and Principal Talent Pools. Principal vacancies can also be found on our CMS Job Board.
