Dr. Ham initiated a “Systems Approach” when he joined the
district as superintendent in July 2007 to focus on quality
assurance and continuous improvement. Ham’s colleagues
praise his leadership, citing his “effectiveness through seeking
first to understand, ethical and moral conduct and leadership
development.” “Working with Dr. Ham is like an internship
in excellence,” said Jay Mann, Madison’s Director for
Communications, “his transparency, ethics, deep questioning,
and desire to develop others as leaders has a way of bringing
out the best in all around him.”
Ham’s leadership skills can be articulated best through his
actions and results in achievement in the Madison Elementary
School District. An urban district located in central Phoenix,
Madison is comprised of eight schools serving nearly 6,000
students, with 45% of its population receiving free and
reduced lunch. Madison has earned the distinction of being
the only elementary district in Phoenix to be “A” rated by the
Department of Education and is the first and only elementary
district in Arizona to become “Internationally Accredited”
through AdvancED. Z
