Cassi Murra served as superintendent until she moved to be superintendent of the Knoxville Community School District in 2014.[4] Jerry Schutz began serving as superintendent that year.[5]
Neil Mullen originally was to begin his role as superintendent on July 1, 2018. However, Mullen began on March 1 because Schutz later took another job that began before July 1.[5]
By February 20, 2019, the Grundy Center district was looking for another superintendent.[6] Rob Hughes was scheduled to begin his role as superintendent of both Grundy Center CSD and of Aplington–Parkersburg Community School District effective July 1, 2019.[7] In March 2021, Hughes resigned from his position as a shared superintendent and became a full-time superintendent for Grundy Center.
