From the Superintendent

Hello 4J community!

I'm so excited to finally be here in Eugene and getting to work. My first priority this year is meeting our students and families, building relationships with our amazing dedicated staff, and connecting with the broader community that so clearly values excellent public education for all.

I'll be out in our schools and elsewhere with open eyes and ears, learning how I can best support the great work that people are doing and that's yet to be done. More to come!

— Dr. Miriam Mickelson

Executive Leadership

Eugene School District 4J is governed by a volunteer seven-member board of directors that hires and oversees a superintendent—the district’s executive officer—who works to implement the board's policies and oversees the day-to-day operations at 4J.

The superintendent, in turn, is supported by their executive leadership team that oversees 4J schools and its central office departments to fulfill the district's educational mission.
