Presidential Search

MiraCosta College is committed to a thorough and inclusive search process

President/Superintendent Search

The MiraCosta Community College District Board of Trustees has initiated a comprehensive search process to identify an exceptional leader to serve as the next Superintendent/President of MiraCosta College. This process is designed to advance the College into its next chapter, building upon its strong foundation while supporting the future-focused planning efforts currently underway across the District.

Under the direction of the Board of Trustees, the District has engaged in extensive listening and engagement activities, including campus and community conversations and a broad-based feedback survey. Input from these efforts informed the development of the Superintendent/President Position Profile, which reflects MiraCosta College’s mission, values, and strategic priorities, including student success, equity, workforce alignment, community partnerships, and long-term institutional sustainability. The Position Profile serves as a guiding document throughout the recruitment, screening, and evaluation phases of the search.

The District recognizes the importance of this moment for MiraCosta College and values the campus and broader community's interest and engagement. Updates will be shared on this webpage as appropriate. To ensure a fair and effective process, the District is committed to maintaining candidate confidentiality throughout much of the search, consistent with best practices in executive recruitment.
