JOYCE — The new Crescent School superintendent is Clayton Mork, a graduate instructor at Western Washington University.
Mork accepted the job offer on Thursday night, said Tom Anderson, current superintendent, today.
The terms of his contract will be worked out during the next couple of weeks, Anderson said, and Mork will begin work at the Joyce school district on July 1.
Mork, who holds a Ph.D., replaces Anderson, who announced in March that he is retiring after six years at the district’s helm.
Mork is the former assistant superintendent of the Bainbridge School District. He also has served as principal at Woodward Middle School on Bainbridge Island and as assistant middle school principal in the Monroe School District, where he also had taught math and science.
The Crescent School Board chose him from four finalists.
Others were Edwina Hargrave, program administrator at Stevenson-Carson School District in Stevenson; Martin Schmidt, former superintendent of the Gorman School District in California; and Jack Dalton, assistant principal of Grandview Middle School in Grandview.
All of the finalists visited the district this week.
