He has been in his current superintendency since 2012 and was also the St. Johnsbury Superintendent of Schools for ten years. David has also been a Principal, a Director of Curriculum, and an adjunct professor in several Vermont Colleges and Universities. David began his career in Rhode Island, as a teacher and administrator. His resume reveals a strong background in curriculum and instruction and organizational development.
Dr. Baker received his doctoral degree in Educational Administration from UVM in 1993. He earned his undergraduate degree and Master of Education degree from Rhode Island College. He served as the Principal for Barre Middle School, in Barre, Vermont from 1989-1994 and prior to that leadership experience he was the Principal at the Blue Mountain Union School in Wells River from 1984-1989.
