On July 15, the Hampton School Board selected a Hampton City Schools’ graduate to serve as its new Superintendent of Schools. Dr. Linda M. Shifflette became the division’s first female superintendent when she officially took the reins on August 6, 2009.

Dr. Shifflette is a graduate of Kecoughtan High School, Old Dominion University and Virginia Tech. An award-winning administrator, she is the recipient of the Education Excellence Award from Virginia Tech, and the Vocational Educator Award of Excellence from the Virginia Peninsula Chamber of Commerce.

Her accomplishments in the educational arena are many.  She is credited with piloting the one-to-one laptop initiative at Lindsay Middle School, Jones Magnet Middle School, Phoebus High School and Hampton High School.   She also implemented the division’s Performance Learning Center (PLC) – a credit recovery program that is currently the top performing PLC in the state of Virginia.

Dr. Shifflette’s professional career with Hampton City Schools began in 1974 when she was hired as a Business Education teacher at Pembroke High School and Bethel High School. During that time she also served as the Cooperative Office Education Coordinator, placing students in jobs throughout the local community.

She is married with two adult children, and is happily anticipating the birth of her first grandchild.
