Dr. Michelle Reid, the new Superintendent for the Northshore School District paid a visit to the club today.

Superintendent Reid spoke about the current state of the school district and how district growth and an increase in languages spoken are changing the overall composition of the district. She also talked about the new high school which opens next fall, grade shuffling to move 9th graders into the high schools and the beginnings of a comprehensive strategic plan.

It was a pleasure to have her visit and share some stories about herself. The club had lots of questions for Dr. Reid and the hope is she will plan another visit to the club in the near future.

Dr. Reid was formerly the superintendent of South Kitsap School District. Prior to becoming South Kitsap’s superintendent, she served as deputy superintendent, district athletic director and high school principal in the Port Angeles School District. She is known regionally and nationally for instructional leadership and crafting sustainable systems for district support of the instructional core. She has been a conference keynote presenter, Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) panel participant and has been a leadership facilitator at both the University of Washington Center for Educational Leadership and the Harvard Institute for School Leadership.
