Wilsona School District Names Steve Doyle New Superintendent

Lake Los Angeles -– The Wilsona School District (WSD) Board of Trustees is pleased to announce that Mr. Steve Doyle has been selected as the district’s new Superintendent. The Board voted unanimously to approve Mr. Doyle’s appointment at the June 15 Board Meeting, effective July 1, 2023.

Input for the new superintendent included sessions with administrators and staff, community open forum for parents and district stakeholders, and an online survey. Using this information, Leadership Associates, a top search firm, conducted an extensive search. The Board selected Mr. Doyle from an incredibly talented and impressive list of candidates.

Having served 34 years in the field of education, Mr. Doyle brings a variety of experiences. The most recent is serving as the Superintendent in Castaic Union School District for the past 7 ½ years. Prior to that, he worked in Keppel Union School District for 26 ½ years serving as the Superintendent, Assistant Superintendent of Business Services, Director of Support Services, Principal of Lake Los Angeles School and a teacher for 8 years. His extensive experience in district finance and serving small communities has equipped him with an in-depth understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing today's educational landscape. Throughout his career, Mr. Doyle has consistently demonstrated a strong passion for improving educational outcomes and creating inclusive and equitable learning environments for all students.

“I am excited to come back to work in the Antelope Valley, specifically, the community of Lake Los Angeles,” said Mr. Doyle. “I am very familiar with the many challenges that our families and communities face in the unincorporated Los Angeles county area. I look forward to building relationships with our staff and the community and continuing the work of supporting the community together. I believe that students must always be the focus of our decision making, that building strong relationships with staff and community fosters trust and that we must strive to be fiscally conservative while focused on our priorities as the stewards of taxpayer dollars.”

Steve and his wife Michelle, a first-grade teacher, have three grown children (Ashley, Patrick, and Austin). In his free time, he enjoys spending time with his two granddaughters (Riley and Maya), cooking and supporting his Minnesota sports teams.

The Board of Education is pleased with the appointment of Mr. Doyle and looks forward to continuing with their goals of academic excellence, innovative programs, and a focus on family and community engagement.
