Growth opportunity Enterprise learning vendor HMH is undergoing leadership additions in 2026, including a General Manager of Customer Experience and a Chief Marketing Officer, signaling a focus on customer experience, marketing alignment, and scaled go-to-market efforts that could open opportunities for partnerships with the Center for Model Schools to bolster district-level adoption strategies.

Strategic alignment Center for Model Schools can position itself as a strategic partner to further HMHs mission of sustainable school improvement by offering research-backed coaching and implementation support to districts, potentially expanding from program consulting to district-wide transformation initiatives.

Digital and data leverage HMHs tech stack includes Azure, Google BigQuery, SAP ECC, AWS CloudFormation and data governance tools like Collibra, presenting an opening to offer data-driven modernization, analytics enablement, and integration services tailored for model schools and district analytics needs.

Market fit With a revenue range of 50 to 100 million and a workforce focused on education solutions, there is room to propose scalable model school frameworks and professional development programs that align with mid-market district budgets and procurement cycles.

Strategic partnerships Recent news of asset divestitures and ongoing product awards suggests a transformative period; this creates openings for Center for Model Schools to collaborate on implementation, change management, and stakeholder engagement to ensure lasting impact in districts adopting HMH offerings.
