About the Speaker:

Katherine (Kathy) Wright is the current Superintendent of River Delta Unified School District. She is the 5th generation in her family to be raised and receive her Preschool-12th Grade education within the Sacramento Delta. Mrs. Wright lives in Rio Vista with her husband, Steve. They have two children, Nathan and Emma, who are young adults now. Nathan completed his requirements for the Recording Arts program at Chico State in Spring 2020 and will finally get to participate in a commencement ceremony this Friday. Emma is finishing her Junior year at Chico State and will graduate with a degree in Recreation Management in Spring 2022.

Mrs. Wright was hired by RDUSD for her first teaching assignment after earning her BA and a teaching credential from Chico State. She taught at the elementary school level for 13 years. After earning her administrative credential and MA in Educational Leadership from St. Mary’s College of Moraga, she served as a school administrator for 6 years. In 2012, Mrs. Wright was recruited and hired by a federal agency, WestEd, to be a part of a school turnaround team that assessed, created and implemented school improvement plans for the lowest performing schools across our nation. She returned to RDUSD in 2016 to serve as the Director of Educational Services. In 2019 the RDUSD Board of Trustees selected Mrs. Wright to serve as the Superintendent. Although she never imagined facing the challenges of a national pandemic in her first year as Superintendent, she is still as committed as ever to humbly serving the staff, students and their families in the most effective and impactful manner possible.
