In picking Scott Rowe to be the new superintendent of Arlington Heights-based Township High School District 214 – a change nearly 20 years in the making – the school board president said the district found the ideal administrator.

Scott Rowe, Ph.D., left, introduces himself to a large crowd in attendance at the April 13, 2023 Township High School District 214 Board of Education meeting at the Forest View Education Center in Arlington Heights, flanked by school board members. The Arlington Heights-based SD214 board voted on and seated Rowe as the new superintendent, approving a four-year contract with the current superintendent of Huntley School District 158. Rowe replaces David Schuler at District 214.

Rowe, who turns 43 on April 17 and is currently superintendent of nine-school Huntley Community School District 158 – which includes only one high school – will start at SD214 as of July 1. His four-year contract includes pay of $280,000 annually plus benefits.“This is a tremendous school district. I loved Huntley and it was wonderful to me, but this opportunity to transform education in a new way is really intriguing,” Rowe told Pioneer Press in an interview after the announcement.

Scott Rowe, Ph.D., meet with members of the media April 13, 2023 after he was approved by the school board and introduced as the new superintendent of Arlington Heights-based Township High School District 214. Rowe comes to the district from Huntley School District 158. In a news conference after the announcement, Rowe also said his top priorities will be flexible learning environments, school safety, equity and inclusion and building relationships with the Chicago Bears organization as the NFL team explores possibly building a new stadium at the site of the former Arlington International Racecourse – which the team purchased earlier this year.
