About MPA's Head of School, Dr. Bill Hudson

About Our Head Of School Transition

In its 42-year history, Mounds Park Academy has benefited from extraordinary leadership shaping and guiding its mission, values, and growth. This has certainly been true since Dr. Bill Hudson assumed the role of head of school in July 2013.

In February 2024, Dr. Hudson announced his retirement from Mounds Park Academy planned for the end of the 2024-25 school year. A search began in February and concluded in May with the announcement of MPA's fifth head of school in its history, Dr. Lori-Anne S. Brogdon.
