The William S. Hart Union High School District Board of Governors has unanimously voted to appoint Kathy Hunter as Assistant Superintendent of Educational Services, officials announced Thursday.
With 2019 marking 20 years of working within the Hart District, Hunter taught students with emotional issues at Valencia High School before becoming a Special Education Program Specialist at the district office.
She has also served as the principal at Sequoia School before starting her current position as Director of Student Services nine years ago. She also has worked in the private sector with IBM for seven years, and another eight years as an educational specialist in psychiatric hospitals, according to officials.
“I am honored to have this opportunity to serve the District as the Assistant Superintendent of Educational Services,” Hunter said in an official statement Thursday. “My focus, as always, will be on students. Under the direction of the superintendent and the governing board, I hope to continue our efforts to support teachers and staff, increase parent engagement, and increase overall physical, emotional, and social wellness of each and every student.”
Hunter is set to assume the new position once current Superintendent Vicki Engbrecht retires, as she would be replacing Mike Kuhlman, who was named superintendent-elect by the Governing Board in August.
“We are so very pleased to welcome Ms. Kathy Hunter to the position of assistant superintendent once the transition in leadership happens for the Hart District,” said Kuhlman, who is currently serving as deputy superintendent for the Hart District. “Ms. Hunter has authored many of the signature programs for out District and has built critical relationships with key people and organizations throughout our community. Her leadership has been indispensable recently as we have faced the traumatic events of this past week. I’m thankful and optimistic for our District and our community.”
Hunter has a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology and Education from West Texas A & M, and a Master of Science Degree in Counseling from the University of La Verne. She and her husband, Bobby Zameroski, a teacher at Valencia High School, live in Castaic. They have one child and one grandchild.
