Dr. Raquel Greer joined Maize USD 266 as its Superintendent of
Schools on July 1, 2022. She has led the district in the development and implementation of the Lead Forward Strategic Plan, guiding toward key goals. She values connecting with students, employees from all departments, and community members to build relationships and collaborate.

Under her leadership, she has conducted listening sessions with employees and parents; engaged district stakeholder groups in shared leadership; participated in school and community events, which led the development of the Lead Forward strategic plan; strengthened partnerships with the City of Maize and the Maize Recreation Commission; and implemented new communications strategies. She meets regularly with the District Site Council, Maize Education Association, and Superintendent Student Advisory Team as a way to further strengthen communication and engagement with students, parents, and employees.

In 2023, the National School Public Relations Association named Dr. Greer among 25 Superintendents to Watch nationally. Honorees are school district leaders early in their superintendent career who demonstrate dynamic, fast-paced leadership with strong communication at its core. They use communication technology in innovative and effective ways to engage and inform their school communities and to expand two-way communication and outreach efforts.

Dr. Greer has been an educator and community member in the Wichita area for more than 25 years. She and her husband, Jason, have four children.
