Dr. Patricia Boles will retire from her role as assistant superintendent in the Washougal School District (WSD) after a cumulative 44 years in education, serving as an elementary teacher, special education teacher, principal and assistant superintendent.

Boles first considered retirement in 2015, but then accepted the assistant superintendent position in Washougal, a position that she thought was a one-year commitment.
