Leadership through Adversity

Transformation and change are always tough.  During her time as Superintendent, Kathryn Matayoshi has navigated the push and pull of external forces - national and federal currents, state and local politics, ups and downs of economy and budget - and balancing the needs of students, teachers, educational leaders.
