From the desk of Superintendent Michael Cummings ✍️👀⬇️ Hoquiam families, I am honored to serve as Superintendent of the Hoquiam School District and I look forward to partnering with all of you as we continue building upon the rich traditions and successes of our district. I want to say thank you for your continued trust and partnership, as well as share with you what my focuses look like during my first 90 days as your superintendent. Those Guiding Priorities are: 1. Build Relationships and Trust 2. Learn the District 3. Focus on Student Success 4. Develop Shared Direction My intention with this plan is to establish a strong foundation for leadership by building relationships, listening to stakeholders, understanding district operations, assessing strengths and challenges, and creating a shared vision for student success. It is grounded in the belief that effective leadership begins with trust, transparency, collaboration, and a relentless focus on improving outcomes for all students. My door is open. If you would like to schedule a meeting with me to discuss this plan, a concern, or an idea, please contact our district office at 360-538-8200. Here's to a fantastic 2026–2027 school year. #WeAreHoquiamSD
