Carriere, MS – The Pearl River County School District is pleased to announce the selection of Mr. Robin “Jeremy” Weir as the next Superintendent of Education, pending formal approval by the Pearl River County School Board during its regular session on May 8, 2025.

A proud native of Pearl River County and a 1993 graduate of Pearl River Central High School, Mr. Weir brings a wealth of educational leadership and community commitment to the role.  Following his service in the United States Army, Mr. Weir began his career in education in 2001 as a teacher and coach at Pearl River Central. His passion for student success and educational excellence led him into administrative roles beginning in 2011, where he served for the next eleven years as Assistant Principal and Principal in the Hancock County and Bay-Waveland School Districts.

Mr. Weir holds a bachelor’s degree in Coaching and Sports Administration from the University of Southern Mississippi and a master’s degree in education from William Carey University.  His academic and professional journey reflects a lifelong dedication to fostering strong educational environments.

In addition to his work in schools, Mr. Weir has a longstanding history of leadership within the Pearl River County School District itself, having served on the Board of Education from 2011 to 2018, including four years as Board President from 2013 to 2017. His deep ties to the community, combined with his extensive leadership experience, position him well to lead the district into its next chapter of growth and excellence.

“We are excited about the future of our District under Mr. Weir’s leadership,” said the Pearl River County School Board President, Eli Ouder. “His record of service and his commitment to students, staff, and the broader community, along with his proven leadership background, make him the ideal choice to serve as our next Superintendent.”

Pending final board approval, Mr. Weir will officially assume the role this summer. The Pearl River County School District looks forward to working with Mr. Weir to continue building on the district’s tradition of excellence in education.
