Edgewood City Schools has named its next superintendent. The Board of Education has selected Jeff Madden to lead the district starting with the 2026–2027 school year. Madden currently serves as assistant superintendent at Fairborn City Schools and brings experience in student services, curriculum, business operations, and strategic planning. The Edgewood High School graduate called the appointment a “privilege to return home,” saying he’s ready to give back to the community that shaped him. Current Superintendent Curtis Philpot will transition into a new role as director of business operations and facilities, remaining with the district to help ensure a smooth leadership change. District leaders say Madden’s experience and connection to the community make him the right person to lead Edgewood forward.
