Rhett Ladner

Biography

Rhett Ladner is a 27-year veteran educator who has spent 20 years of that time as a K - 12 administrator, where he has shown tremendous success at all of his schools. He currently serves as the Assistant Superintendent of the Pascagoula-Gautier School District on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. His personal and professional life was changed 12 years ago when he realized that if you take care of all the people in the school and make them feel valued, then this school thing is no longer a job but a mission. So in the past 12 years, it has become his purpose to lead educators to see that the “cause” matters more than the “why.” When we rally to a cause, change the world one child at a time, make the WE bigger than me, then school becomes a place ALL want to be a part of.
