The USD 308 Board of Education voted in Dawn Johnson, Ph.D., as Hutchinson Public Schools’ new superintendent upon the retirement of current superintendent, Mike Folks…. “While a global search was possible, the Board is confident it found the most qualified candidate in Dr. Johnson. Her understanding of the Kansas education landscape, her expertise and experience in multiple areas of administration and teaching are proven qualities. We look forward to working with Dr. Johnson as our next USD 308 Superintendent,” said Board President Greg Meredith. Johnson has more than 30 years of experience in education. She earned her doctorate in education from Wichita State University and holds two master’s degrees. Before coming to USD 308, Johnson served as principal in USD 444 Little River/Windom for six years and superintendent of USD 309 Nickerson/South Hutchinson from 2016-2021. Earlier in her career, Johnson taught high school English.
