Marty McRae was selected as Baldwin County's new superintendent following the retirement of Eddie Tyler.
McRae has been serving as interim superintendent. He brings 36 years of public education experience, according to the Baldwin County Board of Education. He has been a teacher, coach, athletic director, technology coordinator, assistant principal, principal, assistant superintendent of Prevention and Support/Student Services and assistant superintendent of Secondary Education, all with Baldwin County Public Schools.
“I am deeply honored to have the opportunity to serve as superintendent of Baldwin County Public Schools,” McRae said. “Baldwin County is a special place, one that must be preserved while also making the district one of the most competitive in the state. We are in the process of creating our goals, and our staff and parents will be hearing more about that in the weeks to come. I cannot do this without our communities’ buy-in and without our parents’ buy-in. I hope they will join me and partner with me on keeping this system at a level we all expect and deserve.”
As assistant superintendent, McRae was credited with districtwide safety initiatives, including surveillance systems, employee panic alerts, and standardized emergency response protocols.
McRae received his bachelor’s degree from Auburn University at Montgomery and his master’s from the University of South Alabama. He also holds administrative certification from the University of South Alabama and completed the Superintendent Academy there in 2020.
