Camdenton R-III Announces New Assistant Superintendent: Todd Shockley Is Coming Back!

The Camdenton R-III School District on Tuesday announced the appointment of Todd Shockley as the next Assistant Superintendent of Personnel and Compliance. With 38 years of experience in public education—including 17 years as a building administrator in Camdenton R-III—Shockley brings a deep understanding of the district, its people, and its commitment to excellence.

After retiring from public education in June 2023, Shockley is eager to return to serve the district in this new leadership role.

“After a brief, yet energizing two-year retirement, I feel blessed to return to the Camdenton R-III School District,” said Shockley. “I have a heart for people and know I still have much to offer by way of serving ALL stakeholders in this district. My goal is to help create an environment where students, staff, and faculty can flourish.”

As Assistant Superintendent of Personnel, Shockley will focus on hiring, staff development, and fostering a positive and supportive work culture. His leadership will play a vital role in ensuring the district attracts and retains quality educators while maintaining an environment where students and staff thrive.

“Public education is a noble endeavor,” Shockley added. “It has become more challenging over the last decade, but it doesn’t have to be that way. I envision a work and learning space in which teachers, support staff, and students alike look forward to coming to school each day—and where parents are excited and appreciative of the outstanding educational experiences afforded their students.”

Shockley and his wife, Daphne, have been married for 34 years and are proud parents of four grown children, all graduates of Camdenton R-III. His deep roots in the community and passion for education make him an outstanding choice for this role.
