Mucerino Consulting
I currently serve as the Superintendent of Schools for the Alvord Unified School District, a 23-school unified school district in Riverside County, California serving approximately 18,000 students. Prior to Alvord, I've served as a high school and middle school principal, assistant superintendent, and superintendent. I've led schools or school districts for thirty consecutive years. I am a research-practitioner and a Professional Expert for the CCEE, California’s statewide system of support established by statute in 2013 and a component of the state’s accountability and continuous improvement system, whose guiding principles include equity and local control.
I have also been a member of the California State University, Fullerton (CSUF) Department of Education faculty for the past fourteen years as a Superintendent in Residence, teaching doctoral level courses, supervising dissertations in practice, and serving on the Executive Committee for doctoral studies. In 2013, I joined the education leadership faculty at the University of La Verne, in addition to CSUF.
My areas of expertise, which I have experienced first-hand in my education leadership roles, include strategic planning, governance, decision-making, leadership development and executive coaching, system analysis and reform, and performance management. As an experienced leader of leaders, I value the importance of building leadership capacity within the organizations by focusing on individual development. I have revolved my capacity-building efforts around evidenced-based tools, protocols, and systems of coherence. It is my belief that if leaders did things the right way, they will be positioned perfectly to do the right thing. What does that mean? Give me a call to discuss it.

TESTIMONIALS
Blanca E. Rubio
Assemblymember, 48th District
“Dr. Mucerino has separated himself from all of the Superintendents who have come before him in my 27 years as a member of the School Board. He identified our needs. He worked with the entire Board and all stakeholder groups to develop a plan to meet those needs. Then he operationalized the plan. All of which he did effortlessly and seemingly within the blink of an eye."
Ken Bell, Board President
Duarte Unified School District
"As the representative for California's 48th District Assembly District, I support all of the school districts in the 48th District. As a former teacher and former school board member, I closely follow the work that each of my school districts are engaging in with great interest and pride. I am particularly proud of the work being conducted in the Duarte Unified School District, under the leadership of their superintendent, Dr. Allan Mucerino."
