Dr. McKendrick has been superintendent of the Lynchburg City Schools since 2004.  Prior to coming to Lynchburg, he worked in the Long Beach Unified School District, Long Beach, California.  During his tenure as superintendent, Lynchburg’s schools have made consistent and significant gains in student achievement as exemplified by all schools meeting state accountability measures and by schools being cited on state and national levels for the achievement of at-risk students. Further, for the last five years, Newsweek magazine has cited Lynchburg’s high schools as being in the top five percent of high schools in the country.  Dr. McKendrick is actively involved in national and state organizations, including the most recent cohort of Virginia Lead, the University of Virginia’s Statewide K-12 Education Advisory Council, and Virginia Tech University’s Superintendents’ Advisory Committee.
