Hello Selah Students, Families, Community and Staff,

First and foremost, I want to share with you how excited I am to be joining the Selah Family.  I am honored to have been selected as the superintendent by the Board of Directors and very eager to begin serving our students.  I also look forward to building relationships with families, staff and the community that will have a positive impact on our students.  

As a 1983 graduate of SHS, I return to Selah with an abundance of personal and professional experiences that I believe will benefit the district and community.  Over my career, regardless of position or location, I have developed a set of core beliefs about public education.  These core beliefs are what will focus my work as the superintendent and my commitment to the students of the Selah School District.

1. Students need schools that are safe, welcoming and have an environment that is conducive to teaching and learning. 
2. Students need educators that are caring and who are able to support the whole child by meeting both academic and social emotional needs.
3. Students need access to a variety of academic and extra-curricular learning experiences and opportunities. 
4. Students need their families, community members and school employees to work together.

District leaders, the Board of Directors and I are hard at work preparing for the 2022-23 school year.  If you have any questions, concerns or general comments about the Selah School District, please don’t hesitate to contact me at your convenience.  

Sincerely,

Kevin McKay
