The Superintendent of Martha’s Vineyard Public Schools invites highly-qualified candidates to apply for the position of Elementary/Middle School Principal of Edgartown Elementary School.

On the Island of Martha’s Vineyard, the Town of Edgartown is one of New England’s most picturesque, preserved seaport communities.  Main Street is lined with the Greek Revival homes of former whaling captains.  Edgartown has many beautiful and unspoiled beaches and offers many locations for bluefish and bass fishing among many other water sports.

A valid Massachusetts license as a K-8 Principal and a master’s degree in Education or related field are required. Residence on or relocation to the Island of Martha’s Vineyard is strongly preferred, but negotiable. Martha’s Vineyard Public Schools offers a regionally competitive salary and benefits package commensurate with qualifications and experience.
