Superintendent Biography

William M. Habermehl
Present Orange County Superintendent of Schools
Dedicated to World Class Education…Where Every Child Succeeds.

With over 2900 full and part-time employees, the Orange County Department of Education, working with the local Orange County school districts serving over a half million students, provides money-saving centralized services including alternative education, special education, outdoor education, instruction, business, human resources, and technology. Better schools mean better communities. My goal is to continue working towards high achieving schools in safe environments for all students. The rich cultural environment of Orange County offers expanding opportunities and challenges, and our work is focused on providing alternatives for every student.
Previous Thirty-four years in education have afforded me experience in teaching, coaching, site and district administration as well as twenty-three years of work with the senior management team of the Orange County Department of Education as Associate Superintendent of Instruction, Technology, Child Development and Outdoor Education Services.
