Clark-Pleasant Welcomes New Superintendent
Dr. Timothy Edsell Begins Tenure in Whiteland
July 6, 2023
Whiteland, IN-
The Clark-Pleasant Community School Corporation Board of Trustees has announced Tim Edsell, Ph.D., former Nineveh Hensley Jackson leader, as its next superintendent. Dr. Edsell fills the vacancy of departing superintendent, Dr. Patrick Spray. Board President, Dave Thompson, says they didn’t have to look far to find the perfect fit, “To find someone of Tim’s caliber and leadership abilities, right here in the county is a win-win for our school community”, stated Thompson. Edsell has a Bachelors in Mathematics, a Masters in Administration from Ball State and a Ph.D. from Indiana State. He’s spent the last 9 years as superintendent in the Trafalgar district where academics have improved in all 4 buildings. He oversaw a $40 million multi-faceted construction project and supervised completion of a new elementary school. “I feel fortunate to have had some wonderful, yet challenging opportunities to this point in my career. I look forward to continuing and building upon the successes of the Clark-Pleasant Board in this new role, says Edsell.
Edsell, who began his career as a math teacher, has also worked as a principal, and superintendent in several Indiana school districts. He also brings higher education experience serving as an Adjunct Professor for Indiana Wesleyan and University of Southern Indiana. “I believe, especially for our high school students, we need to always be pointing them to their next educational opportunity. For some that’s a 4 year college for others a vocational certification or other opportunities to learn and to grow their skills and passions”. One of his most proud accomplishments is implementing a successful, state-recognized, Farm-to-Table program. Some of the things that helped Dr. Edsell stand out to the board was his creation of a diverse marketing plan attracting over 400-transfer-tuition students and annually increasing student enrollment; implementing K-12 STEM courses and Robotics teams while collaboratively negotiating competitive teacher contracts providing annual pay increases. During his tenure as a principal he received national and statewide recognition, including a National Blue Ribbon School Award, Indiana Four Star School Award for 4 consecutive years. During his 30 years as an educator he’s also served as a head football coach and assistant baseball coach at several schools. Dr. Edsell loves spending quality time with his wife and three daughters, son-in-law and grandson. Look out Warriors he’s a Steelers and Nittany Lions fan.
“It’s an honor and privilege to have been selected as the next superintendent of the Clark-Pleasant Community School Corporation. I believe in the 3 R’s of Education: Rigor, Relevance, and Relationships. We will strive to provide exemplary leadership, effective communication, creative visionary skills, true collaboration, and sound fiscal responsibility. I am ready and very excited to serve the Clark-Pleasant School community, Let’s Go WARRIORS!”
