Student & School Success

Longtime Southwest Washington education leader John Deeder has been elected to the Educational Service District (ESD) 112 Board of Directors. Deeder will officially take the oath of office during the board’s meeting on January 27, 2026, alongside other re-elected board members.

Deeder brings more than four decades of experience in public education to his new role. He retired in 2017 after serving 11 years as superintendent of Evergreen Public Schools, the largest school district in Clark County and the fifth largest in the state. Prior to his time at Evergreen, Deeder worked in several Oregon school districts as a teacher, counselor, coach, principal, instructional leader and assistant superintendent.

“John’s depth of leadership experience will be a tremendous asset to the ESD 112 Board,” said ESD 112 Superintendent Tim Merlino. “His long-standing commitment to public education and deep understanding of district-level operations will help us continue delivering critical services that support schools of all sizes across our region.”
