Eugene Stampley
Eugene Stampley, it's a pleasure to join the Board of Trustees as both a proud parent of a 4th grader and an educator with 38 years of experience. As a parent, I understand the importance of a quality education and bring this personal investment to my role. I have taught in public, private, and Catholic schools at both the elementary and high school levels, including 24 years as Science Department Chairperson at a high school in Chicago. Currently, I serve as the 7th/8th Grade Science Teacher and 8th Grade Dean at a private independent school in San Francisco. I have also served on school boards and local councils, always guided by my commitment to serving the community and doing the greatest good for the greatest number of people and students.

William Kappenhagan
Mr. Kappenhagan has worked with students of all abilities to become their best selves. As a teacher, camp counselor, administrator, principal, and principal supervisor, I bring a focused, honed lens to the work of continuous improvement for the sake of our children's learning. My work lies in recruiting and retaining high-quality school and school systems leaders, and then leveraging their collective wisdom to make greater systemic change. Our schools must be focused on the growth and development of every child. The work before us today is to design systems that will be relevant tomorrow and innovative tomorrow.
