Coupeville School District Superintendent Steve King ends his six-year tenure in Central Whidbey this week, with a teaching job in Hawaii next on the docket.
As he prepares to depart, he issued the following farewell:
Hello Coupeville Community!
I hope this message finds you well.
Tonight’s School District board meeting will be my final meeting and the end of my tenure as your Superintendent.
As I leave Coupeville to relocate closer to family and return to the classroom, I want to express my gratitude for your support and kindness over the past six years.
Becoming your Superintendent in 2018 was an absolute honor and a career dream come true.
While many unforeseen challenges during my time here took their toll, there is no place I would have rather been than in this incredible Coupeville community.
I have had the honor and privilege of serving in the most supportive community I have ever been a part of.
It is a career highlight to have been able to serve those who serve us over the past decade in both Oak Harbor and Coupeville.
It was an incredible honor being a part of our hardworking and dedicated staff, who are committed to serving Coupeville students.
Most importantly, I have loved being a part of the lives of our students!
I have been able to serve thousands of students in my career in multiple school districts, and the Coupeville students are second to no one.
Thank you all for your continued support and ongoing efforts to support our schools and students.
I have learned so much from so many wonderful people in Coupeville, and many of you have inspired me more than you’ll ever know.
I wish everyone in Coupeville, especially the students, the very best, and I am truly grateful for the time I was able to serve in this beautiful and amazing place.
With respect and gratitude!
Steve King
