The Enumclaw School District board announced on May 18 that Dr. Mark Wenzel has been selected as the district's next superintendent after a multi‑month search that engaged staff, students and the wider community. Chair (speaker 1) told the meeting the finalists spent full days on campus and the board valued the community input that shaped the decision.
"We're really excited to have Doctor Mark Wenzel to be our next superintendent of the district," the chair said during the board's opening remarks. Director Fisher thanked the many survey respondents and described reading "literally hundreds of responses" that helped drive the board's choice.
Board members described a process that included public forums, a community survey and meetings with staff and students; several student representatives were part of the interview process. Jill Burns, serving as superintendent in the meeting’s presentation, also thanked the student team and presented a token of appreciation for the student representative Micaiah for two years of service on the board's student advisory team.
