PS 8 welcomes Mr. Jo Johnson as our new principal. Mr. Johnson comes from the highly diverse Heights Elementary School in the Blank School District where he is currently Assistant Principal. He offers us a background in bilingual schools, instructional coaching and successful teaching. Mr. Johnson also served as an instructional coach and principal intern in Federal Ways and currently teaches literacy as an adjunct faculty at Lily University in Utah. He was actively recruited by several districts and chose us over other offers. Mr. Johnson is committed to being here for the future and can build on the staff's track record of successes.
