Enumclaw High Athletic Director Kevin Smith has announced he will return full-time to the world of EHS academia beginning next year, stepping away from his AD duties.

Aside from heading Hornet sports, Smith has – for the past three-plus years – directed the school’s Career and Technical Education programs. As those offerings expand, he will spend all his time in that area.

Smith’s move is part of a restructuring process at the EHS administrative level, put in motion when Assistant Principal Caspar VanHaalen announced he would not be returning to Enumclaw High next year. A new assistant principal will be hired, with oversight of EHS athletics one of the job duties.
