About David McGuire

Dr. McGuire earned a bachelor’s degree in English from Central State University, a Master of Business Administration from Indiana Wesleyan University, and a Doctor of Education in Organizational Leadership with a concentration in K–12 District-Level Leadership from Marian University.

Dr. David McGuire is a school leader with experience across both public charter and traditional public-school settings at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. He believes that in order for students to receive the education they deserve, schools must be places where students are academically challenged, culturally affirmed, emotionally supported, socially unharmed, and physically safe. He believes strong schools are built through intentional leadership, meaningful relationships, high expectations, and systems that empower both students and educators to thrive.

He began his career in education as an English teacher before moving into school leadership, where he has led instructional improvement efforts, developed teacher leadership structures, expanded student support systems, and worked to increase access and opportunities for historically underserved students. His leadership has been shaped through participation in several distinguished professional organizations and leadership development programs.

Dr. McGuire is honored to join Butler College Prep and looks forward to partnering with students, families, staff, and community members to advance the school’s mission of developing socially responsible global citizens through rigorous, engaging, and equity-centered learning rooted in community and intercultural understanding.

Outside of school, Dr. McGuire enjoys being a dad to his daughter Zuri, working out, reading, and working on his podcast.
