Dr. Katie McCluskey joined District 2 as its 11th Superintendent of School on July 1, 2022.

Prior to joining District 2, Dr. McCluskey served for five years as the Assistant Superintendent of Teaching, Learning, and Accountability for Glen Ellyn District 41. She came to District 2 having already developed highly successful dual language and foreign language at the elementary school (FLES) programs that created pathways to biliteracy and bilingualism for all students. She also attained Preschool for All grants to expand pre-kindergarten programs and support more at-risk students. 

By building community partnerships, she brought real-life problems connected to student learning into her schools, which allowed students to hear real-world issues and research and design solutions for some of the most complex problems facing their communities.

Dr. McCluskey began her career in education in 2002, serving for six years as an English as a second language (ESL)/bilingual teacher at J.S. Morton High School. She then joined Plainfield School District 202 in 2008 to serve as a district-level ESL/bilingual instructional specialist. 

In 2010, she moved on to serve for two years as the Director of ESL & Bilingual Programming for District 41 and Glenbard District 87, leading both districts’ ESL programming for more than 600 students Grade PreK-12. Over the next seven years, her responsibilities in District 41 continued to expand. She served as its Director of ESL & Bilingual Programming, its Director of Pre-Kindergarten, Birth-to-3 and Partners in Learning Programs, and the Director of Churchill Elementary Dual-Language School before being named District 41's Assistant Superintendent of Teaching, Learning, and Accountability. 

Dr. McCluskey holds a doctorate of education in leadership in administration from Aurora University, a master of arts degree in education leadership from Governors State University, and a bachelor of arts degree in elementary education with a K-12 ESL endorsement from Arizona State University.

Dr. McCluskey co-authored the book Game Plan: A Playbook for Developing Winning PLCs at Work. The book supports educators in developing a collaborative community of learners and a shared focus while assisting them in meeting students' needs.

Dr. McCluskey and her husband, Brian, have been married for 19 years, and have a daughter, Lexi, who is an active high school junior that loves to play soccer and spend time with friends. As a family, they enjoy volunteering and making blankets for the pediatric ward at Edward Hospital.
