Cloverdale taps Vigo County educator as new Superintendent

When the 2026-27 school year kicks off in August, the Cloverdale Community School Corporation will have a new face of the district, as the school board recently hired a Vigo County educator for its top spot. 

Dr. Stacy Mason was hired to replace outgoing Superintendent Greg Linton. Linton will transition to overseeing Cloverdale's District Learning Academy. 

Mason is no stranger to education, currently serving as assistant principal at Woodrow Wilson Middle School, and she has prior experience as the Vigo County School Corporation's assistant superintendent and served as director of secondary education for a decade. She also served as the principal at Terre Haute North. 

Mason said there were several things that drew her to Cloverdale. 

"I am extremely excited and honored to be named the Superintendent of CCSC. I was specifically drawn to CCSC because of its size, financial stability, school spirit and overall reputation of a caring school community with a student-centered culture. The Cloverdale students have always represented the community well, and I have noticed that when watching extra-curricular activities or athletics over the years," Mason told The Putnam County Post. 

Wilson acknowledge her career, which has taken her from the classroom to district leadership positions, has helped prepare her for a role with Cloverdale. 

"Having served under multiple superintendents, and an ever-evolving school board in a district of 13,000-plus students, I have gained valuable insight into all aspects of a school district. As assistant superintendent, I was able to experience a variety of responsibilities and duties both in the schools and in the community to support the goals of the superintendent and the school board. I believe what makes me unique is that my work has spanned all departments including curriculum and instruction, policy development and finance, human resources, special education, co-curricular activities and athletics and community collaboration," Mason said. 

Mason is ready to hit the ground running for the Clovers, whether it be faculty and staff or families and students. She said with the board's guidance, a "strategic plan," will be developed together, which will outline goals for the district spanning the next five years. 

"In developing the plan, we will seek feedback and input from all stakeholders inside and outside of the district. An example of one goal that has been shared is to increase our marketing footprint so that we are highlighting our students, staff and all of good things happening at CCSC for all to see. I would love to grow the ways in which we communicate with families and the community through social media and other means as well as to offer a website that is user friendly and inviting," she said. 

In addition, Mason looks forward to "working collaboratively" with students and staff to find creative ways to expand academic, athletic and extra-curricular offerings with the hopes of creating a student experience that is both "unique and enriching."

"Students will help us develop these goals. I can't wait to work collectively with all parties to build on the strong foundation that already exists," Mason said.
