Leadership Training
The overall vision and purpose of an organization are driven by its leadership. Whatever successes or failures exist within an organization, they begin and end with leadership. FTH assists educational leaders by helping them build and maintain the organization they envisioned.
​
Student Training
Students are at the center of all FTH service. Their success and ability to become whole (complete) beings is our number one priority. Their willingness to 'show up' is a testimony to their resilience and grit. When students understand how to maintain wholeness, we know they will be successful.

"The best anti-poverty program is still a world class education."
President Barack Obama, January 2010
Choosing a superintendent isn’t just about filling a role — it’s about shaping the future of your district. At FTH, we understand the weight of that responsibility. That’s why we go beyond the search to offer a comprehensive, hands-on partnership. With over 100 years of combined executive leadership experience, our team is made up of seasoned superintendents from across the country who understand firsthand what it takes to lead in today’s complex educational landscape. We don’t just consult — we walk alongside school boards, administrators, and communities to ensure that every decision is informed, strategic, and aligned with long-term success.
​
What sets FTH apart is our commitment to sustainable leadership. We provide intensive onsite technical assistance throughout the search and offer side-by-side coaching during the critical first year of placement. Our goal isn’t just to place a candidate — it’s to ensure your next superintendent thrives.
