Will Smith

The affable man with an answer for every tech question is taking his impressive skill set on to new adventures.

Will Smith, Director of Technology for the Coupeville School District, has left his post after an 8+ year run.

The Brandman University grad first came to work in Coupeville in 2018 after finishing his career with the US Navy.

Smith served from 1996 to 2018, starting and ending his military run at NAS Whidbey.

Along with keeping every computer running, every school board meeting stream from fritzing out, and thousands of other tasks, he has been a man of many callings.

Smith has been a volunteer coach with the North Whidbey Soccer Club and was a candidate for the Oak Harbor School Board in 2023.

In a community newsletter released Monday night, Coupeville Schools Superintendent Shannon Leatherwood addressed Smith’s departure.

“Our Technology Director has stepped down,” she wrote.

“I have been taking the time needed to develop a thoughtful plan before communicating broadly because our community deserves a path forward, not just an announcement.

“That plan will be shared with you in the coming weeks.”
