Gothard was one of four finalists for the award, announced at the association’s National Conference on Education in San Diego. He became eligible for the honor after being named Minnesota’s 2024 Superintendent of the Year in October by the Minnesota Association of School Administrators.
Gothard, who came to St. Paul in 2017 after four years at the helm of the Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School District, is among the nation’s longest-serving urban school leaders and a veteran of public appearances with U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona.
