SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS

The school board consists of five members who are elected by voters in the Enumclaw school district. The members must live not only within the school district boundaries, but they must also live within the district boundaries they service. They serve a four year term. We also have two EHS student board members.

School directors work together to oversee the school district. As a board, their primary responsibilities are:

  • Hire, supervise and evaluate the superintendent.

  • Set the vision, mission and strategic goals for the district.

  • Review, revise and adopt policies.

  • Establish and oversee the budget.

  • Serve as community representatives.

  • Monitor the district’s progress towards its goals.
