This position reflects Alpine ISD’s belief that strong schools begin with strong early learning. In alignment with the district’s mission to provide learning experiences that enable children to become responsible, productive, successful citizens in an ever-changing world, the Director of Early Learning Excellence will play a central role in building a coherent, high-quality early childhood system that supports children from their earliest years through the primary grades.
The Director of Early Learning Excellence will oversee and support early childhood classrooms across Alpine ISD, from six-week-old classrooms at Alpine Child Development Center through Kindergarten classrooms at Alpine Elementary School.
