Steve has 32 years of education experience and he has come to a novel conclusion as to what his main role is as superintendent. According to Steve, a superintendent is a Storyteller in Chief whose main objective is to tell the story of the district to the community. In his words, “we’ve got to craft a hopeful narrative about public education in this country and, frankly, a hopeful narrative for children and families locally.”

Steve believes in the importance of having an active presence and impact in the classrooms, as well as in the community. It’s part of the job that comes naturally to him with a positive attitude of maintaining a vested interest in the success of every student of the district.

Steve was named the Washington State Superintendent of the Year in 2016. It’s clear from our conversation that he deserves all the honors he has received.
