I’m Lonnie Lewis, the current appointed incumbent for the La Paz County School Superintendent’s Office, serving with one clear purpose: to work tirelessly and deliver results for the students, educators, and communities of La Paz County.

   I am a combat Veteran of Foreign Wars with more than twelve years of honorable military service in the United States Navy, where I served as a Corpsman. I bring proven leadership, accountability, discipline, and a mission-first mindset to public service. I am an educator, coach, and mentor, deeply involved in community youth programs and incentives that strengthen our schools and invest in the future of our county for this generation and the next to come. 

   I have proven to be and continue to be trustworthy, motivated, dedicated, and energetic — a man of action, not words. I am a leader who rolls up his sleeves and has accepted this position to ensure the job is actually getting done. I did not step into this role as a steppingstone or retirement plan, but to set a higher standard for the office and ensure it reflects the needs and expectations of the communities it serves. I know it is a responsibility, and I treat it that way every day.

   Since taking the seat, I have begun moving the office in a new, highly involved direction — one that demands accountability, collaboration, and results. I set clear expectations and align them directly with what La Paz County communities need and want. I actively advocate for our educational priorities with legislators and local government agencies, while building strong, lasting relationships with educators and stakeholders that benefit students and families across the county.

   Career-minded and committed to service, I am working tirelessly earning the trust of the community and identifying every opportunity for our kids, strengthening our education system, and building an office — and a reputation — that La Paz County can be proud of.

I am here to lead, to succeed, and to work for you, La Paz County.
