Dr. Steven Mayhew
Dr. Steven Mayhew isn’t just leading Pittsylvania County Schools (PCS); he’s a part of them. As a three-time alumnus, Dr. Mayhew grew up in the same classrooms he now oversees. His journey is a perfect example of how local education can shape a lifelong career of service right here at home.
Dr. Mayhew’’s path through PCS has touched almost every part of our school system. He started in the classroom as a student, then as a high school teacher before stepping into leadership as an assistant principal. He then served as principal at Twin Springs Elementary and later at Dan River High School. These roles gave him a real-world look at what our students and teachers need at every level, from their first steps in kindergarten to their high school graduation.
His career eventually took him to the central office as Assistant Superintendent for Administration, leading up to his current role as our Superintendent. Because he has been in nearly every position, as a student, a teacher, and an administrator, he leads with a genuine understanding and heart for our community that you can only get by living the experience.
