Patrick Nelson

Amphitheater Superintendent Patrick Nelson, who has overseen the district since 2012, says he wants to retire while things are running smoothly. β€œI want to leave things for the next person working as well as possible,” he says.

Amphitheater School District is hosting community forums to hear from community members about the qualities they're looking for in a new superintendent.

The district is working with the Arizona School Boards Association to search for a new superintendent. Current Superintendent Patrick Nelson will retire at the end of the school year.

Two forums will be held Tuesday at 6 p.m. One will be at the multi-purpose room at Canyon del Oro High School, 25 W. Calle Concordia, and the other, at the Amphitheater High School Library, 125 W. Yavapai Road.
