Dr. Robert Verdi is currently the Interim Superintendent of Schools at the Moreno Valley Unified School District, which serves over 32,000 students at 41 schools and programs.

He has worked in a variety of positions at several districts during his 26-year education career. He has served as an English teacher, baseball coach, dean, assistant principal, high school principal, director of human resources, and assistant superintendent/chief human resources officer. He is a proud product of the Inland Empire, where he grew up and continues to serve within the field of education.

Dr. Verdi graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Journalism from the University of Southern California in 1994. Shortly thereafter, he earned his Master of Arts Degree in Education from the University of La Verne and eventually his Doctorate in Educational Leadership from California State University, Fullerton. 

With his passion for education, Dr. Verdi also served as a professor at Concordia University for 16 years. 

He and his wife Amber have four beautiful children.

We expect that all district leaders use these 11 Commitments to develop a collective culture of Excellence on Purpose and to guide our work each day. These commitments will keep us soaring on the path to success.
