John Boyd

On December 28, 2021, the Evergreen Board of Directors approved John Boyd as the Evergreen Public Schools interim superintendent. Prior to joining EPS in February of 2022, Superintendent Boyd spent seven-plus years as the superintendent of the Quincy School District in central Washington. During his nearly 30-year career in education, he gained experience in teaching, instruction, multi-lingual education and administrative leadership.

Superintendent Boyd, who is fluent in Spanish and knows basic Mandarin, started his career as a paraeducator, moved into teaching, then served as a principal and instruction leader before moving into a superintendent role. He has worked in large school districts, including Seattle, Edmonds and Highline. In his time as superintendent in Quincy, a smaller rural district, he increased test scores and graduation rates, implemented culturally-appropriate supports for multi-lingual students and families, and oversaw a facilities bond and construction work. He also led a team that successfully connected students in a rural 450-square mile district during remote learning.

Superintendent Boyd earned a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish, with a Business Emphasis, from the University of Montana, where he was a four-year member of the men's basketball team; a Master of Education from Western Washington University; an Administrative Licensure from Heritage University; and a Superintendent Licensure from Washington State University.
