District 210 Picks Firm To Conduct Superintendent Search

LEMONT, IL — Lemont High School District 210 has picked a consulting firm to conduct its search for a new superintendent to replace Dr. May Ticknor, who is set to retire in 2025.

A trio of firms had been vying to be selected, but the board of education ultimately chose Pezanoski Consulting.

“Selecting a superintendent is a vital task for a school board,” District 210 Board of Education President Kurt Korte said in a statement. “The search is an involved process and requires the proper amount of time. This not only includes recruiting the candidates who are best qualified for the position, but also verifying backgrounds, conducting multiple interviews with candidates, and ensuring all legal, community, and Board of Education requirements are met.”

The firm will work with board members, staff, faculty, parents and community members to narrow down the search, aiming to announce a new superintendent at the start of 2025.

Dr. Ticknor, became superintendent of District 210 in 2012. By the time her retirement takes effect, Ticknor will have been the district's second-longest serving superintendent.
