School Board Names Superintendent Search Consultant

The Walla Walla Public Schools Board of Directors has selected Hazard, Young, Attea & Associates (HYA) of Arlington Heights, IL as the Superintendent Search consultant. This decision follows the announcement by current Superintendent Dr. Wade Smith to step down at the end of the school year, effective June 30.

HYA is leading a comprehensive, national search for its next superintendent, ensuring ample opportunities for staff, students, parents, and community members to provide input throughout this critical hiring process.

“This is an opportunity to engage the community in a deep conversation about its schools, as we seek the next leader who can build on the strong foundations that Dr. Smith leaves behind,” said School Board President Derek Sarley. “We look forward to hearing from all stakeholders throughout this search as part of our thorough public input process.”
