Superintendent Announced for City of Fairfax Schools
The City of Fairfax School Board announced tonight at their most recent school board meeting that it will appoint Dr. Dustin Wright as Superintendent, effective December 1, 2025.
Dr. Wright brings nearly two decades of leadership across Northern Virginia. He began as a teacher at Rachel Carson Middle School and served as assistant principal at Fairfax Villa Elementary School and the City’s Daniels Run Elementary School. He went on to be principal at Olde Creek Elementary School and Franklin Middle School before division-level roles, including Executive Director of Strategy and Planning for Fairfax County Public Schools and, most recently, Chief of Schools for Falls Church City Public Schools. He holds a Ph.D. in Educational Leadership from George Mason University and has served as an adjunct professor.
Dr. Wright and his wife, city residents for the past 17 years, have three children and are active members of the City community.
Join us in welcoming him to the City schools! He plans to visit PES and see all the great things we have in place soon after he starts.
