She is currently serving as Executive Director of Learning Improvement and Elementary Principal in the Pioneer School District.

Mrs. Powell believes strongly in collaboration and working alongside staff to create fun and joyful learning environments for students and adults. It is important to Kimberly that every staff member, student and family member feel valued and included in the important work that happens in our schools each day.

“We are very excited for Mrs. Powell to join the Naval Avenue and BSD administrative team,” said Brittane DeBard, Director of Elementary Education for the district. “Her experience as a district leader and a building leader will be value added and her genuine care for our community and students was apparent in all of her interactions.”

Mrs. Powell and her husband, who works at PSNS, live in Kitsap County with their three children ages 13, 16 and 20. She comes from a family of educators, including both of her parents, and brother. She loves the outdoors and going on adventures in their family’s Jeep. She can hold her own in Fantasy Football and loves the thrill of a close game!

Welcome Ms. Powell!
