Message from the Superintendent

I am very pleased and excited to serve as the superintendent of Tuscaloosa City Schools. I am honored that the Board of Education has confidence in my abilities and leadership skills to lead our system forward. I have emphasized my primary focus on creating the best learning opportunities for our students. I know that all children can learn.

In working with our personnel, I believe and have demonstrated that our employees should understand their roles and responsibilities as well as the expectations of the Board of Education. We are fortunate to have so many intelligent, caring workers from certified to support, to our parents and the community, who enhance the lives of our students. I want to convey to all of our partners that they are valued and important to our school system. In my current role, I hope to encourage and motivate our administrators, teachers, and staff while serving as a resource to help them achieve their goals. As a united system, we are committed to be successful.

My message to parents is that your children are in a district that is supported by their school Board, faculty and staff, City of Tuscaloosa, Chamber of Commerce, and surrounding community. Not only are our students in a safe environment, they are in an academic environment in which teaching and learning take place. I encourage parents to visit their child’s school, meet the principals and staff, and offer their resources. As partners in learning, we can make sure that every child is successful.

Thank You,
Joyce Levey, Ed.D.
