DANIELLE SHANLEY, SUPERINTENDENT

Danielle Shanley is honored to serve as Superintendent of Madison Public Schools, bringing a wealth of experience as a teacher, supervisor, director, and district leader since 2018. With a deep commitment to innovation and student-centered learning, she champions creativity, inquiry-based education, and the balance between academics, the arts, and extracurricular pursuits.

Danielle holds a BA in English and Education from Kean University, an MA in Educational Leadership from the College of Saint Elizabeth, and is pursuing her Doctoral Degree in Educational Leadership. Passionate about fostering a love of learning, she believes students thrive when encouraged to explore, take risks, and embrace failure as part of growth. She is equally dedicated to developing teacher leaders and creating a culture of lifelong learning.

Outside of work, Danielle enjoys live theater, music, traveling, baking, and cheering on students at school events. She and her husband are proud parents of two talented daughters in Morris County.
