 This Fall, Prince George’s County Public Schools will have a new leader at the helm.

County Executive Angela Alsobrooks announced on June 7 that Mr. Millard House II has been appointed as the new Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Prince George’s County Public Schools (PGCPS). Mr. House joins PGCPS with over two decades of extensive leadership experience as a school system executive. House will begin his new role with PGCPS on July 1, 2023.

“It is both an honor and a pleasure to join Prince George’s County Public Schools,” House said. “I look forward to listening and learning in the days ahead in an effort to build upon a rich tradition of educating students in an equitable manner.” 

Mr. House has had an array of roles before becoming the new CEO, including serving as the Superintendent of the Houston Independent School District (HISD) in Houston, Texas, serving as Superintendent of the Clarksville-Montgomery School System (CMCSS) in Clarksville, Tennessee, and serving as Chief Operating Officer of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg School System in Charlotte, North Carolina.

His leadership has resulted in many accomplishments including elevating 40 of 50 schools from a D or F rating to a A, B, or C rating during his tenure with HISD.
