Assistant Superintendent Linda Boggs earns Doctorate of Education Degree

"I've had friendship, guidance, influence and encouragement from people I work with, parents and community members throughout this journey," Dr. Boggs said. "It was especially meaningful for me that former Walla Walla Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Dennis Ray and former Garrison Middle School Principal Dr. Jim Howard served on my dissertation committee. They've been mentors throughout my professional career."

Dr. Boggs says she has no definite plans for the near future, but states serving as a superintendent remains a goal.

"I've been so focused in my role as Assistant Superintendent and serving the district's mission while completing the all consuming doctorate program, that I've not had time to think about my next steps," Dr. Boggs said. "Wherever my career takes me, I will continue to focus on kids and providing learning opportunities for all."

Boggs also holds a Washington State Superintendent's Certification, which she earned through Washington State University in 2005. Boggs has served as Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Assessment since 2005 and 10 years as Principal at Blue Ridge Elementary.
