Washougal school board taps new director

The Washougal school board has appointed Greg Retchless to its No. 1 director position, which was vacated by Jim Cooper when he resigned in January.

“Greg’s experience building and sustaining innovation programs will guide our work preparing our students for their future,” Washougal School District Superintendent Aaron Hansen said in a news release. “Greg has deep roots in Clark County, and his connections to businesses that hire our students and experience working at Cascadia Technical Academy will serve our students well.”
