This year's SUPES Academy will be limited to 45 qualified participants. Applicants must complete a form and include a letter of nomination from their current district superintendent. The nomination letter should address the applicant’s capacity to be an outstanding district leader. Each applicant must also identify a mentor currently serving as a superintendent in a Michigan district who will provide coaching and feedback during the Academy experience. Graduate credits or SB-CEU’s may be earned for completion of the SUPES Academy.

Participation in the SUPES Academy partially fulfills requirements for the State of Michigan Superintendent endorsement.
