The Mississippi State Department of Education is dedicated to fostering a world-class educational system that equips students with essential knowledge and skills to thrive in college, the workforce, and as engaged citizens. Under the leadership of State Superintendent Dr. Lance Evans, the department emphasizes multiple pathways to success for all students and ongoing professional development for educators and administrators in a dynamic public education landscape.

Key initiatives include the Mississippi College- and Career-Readiness Standards, which define learning goals from pre-K to grade 12, and the Mississippi Succeeds Report Card that provides accountability grades for schools and districts. The department also actively supports teacher recruitment through its TeachMS.org platform, alongside awards and grants to enhance educational programs across the state.
