Leadership Team

Dorrell Green has dedicated his career to serving children across New Castle County as a teacher and educational leader for three of Delaware’s largest public school districts.

Superintendent Green’s career in education began 20 years ago in the City of Wilmington when he served as a teacher at Bancroft Elementary School and Stubbs Elementary School. After honing his skills in the classroom, he embarked on a path to leadership, serving as an Assistant Principal at Bayard Elementary School and then as the Principal of Harlan Elementary School.

Green made a natural transition to district leadership in 2011 when he was named the Director of Elementary Education and Title I Services for the Brandywine School District. From 2012 to 2017, he served as the Assistant Superintendent of the Brandywine School District, overseeing district operations in the areas of transportation, discipline, nutrition, facilities, finance, and human resources.

Green joined the Delaware Department of Education (DOE) in 2017 as the Director of Innovation and Improvement. While at the DOE, he was instrumental in leading many of the trauma-informed practices that are currently in many of our Delaware schools.
Green currently serves as Superintendent of the Red Clay Consolidated School District, the state’s largest public/charter school system, serving 16,000 students and home to 31 outstanding schools and programs.

Dr. Green earned his degree in elementary teaching education from the University of Delaware (UD) in 1998 and his master’s degree in educational leadership and administration from UD in 2004. He recently received his Doctor of Education degree in Organizational Leadership from Wilmington University.

Known as one of the Top 100 of all time and strongest team leaders in Blue Hens history, Dorrell Green was inducted into the University of Delaware Athletics Hall of Fame in 2019. Recently, Green was named Delaware’s Most Influential People in Education.
Superintendent Green lives in Wilmington, where he and his wife, Bonita, have a son (Jordan) and two daughters (Jada and Jasmine).
