The three finalists are Pam Estvold, current assistant superintendent for Anacortes School District, Russ Pickett, current superintendent with the Tenino School District and Jim Shank, current superintendent with the Juab School District in Utah.

Each finalist will meet with district administrators and staff, have lunch with high school students, be interviewed by the board and meet with community members.
