Renton School District Superintendent

Students in the Renton School District are making impressive gains in academic and social achievement because their success is our focus. Our highly qualified teachers collaborate to identify individual student learning needs and provide every student with a powerfully effective education. Renton offers safe and respectful learning environments for students and teachers and the time and resources needed to support the continuous improvement of learning and teaching. Teachers and school administrators constantly sharpen their skills, learning innovative strategies to improve the programs we offer.

We are proud of our extensive network of highly valued community partnerships with our parents, government agencies, and local and regional businesses, and we are grateful to the business leaders and communities that make up our district—including Renton, Newcastle, Fairwood and portions of Bellevue, Seattle, and unincorporated King County—who offer immeasurable support for students and teachers to learn and achieve.

Please continue to visit our website for important and interesting information about our students and schools, and please stop and talk with me as I visit schools and attend school and community events throughout the district during my interim assignment. I value the chance to hear your ideas and impressions of our work and your suggestions for how we might improve.
