Ken Gosney Named Assistant Superintendent of Human Capital & Operations

We are pleased to announce the selection of Ken Gosney as the new Assistant Superintendent of Human Capital and Operations. Mr. Gosney has a proven track record of organizational growth with more than two decades of executive leadership experience in strategic planning, workforce development, human resources, and operational management. 

Most recently, Mr. Gosney served as Chief Executive Officer for Goodwill Industries of Sacramento Valley and Northern Nevada, where he oversaw enterprise-wide initiatives focused on workforce empowerment, equity, and operational excellence. 

Mr. Gosney previously served at Hanford High School as Principal from 2008 to 2015 and as Assistant Principal from 2003 to 2008. During his time at the district, he earned a reputation for fostering a positive school culture, supporting staff growth, and implementing programs that improved student outcomes. 

"I am honored to return to a district that holds such deep personal and professional significance," said Gosney. "I look forward to supporting our talented team, strengthening our systems, and ensuring we operate in ways that are equitable, efficient, and aligned with the needs of our students and community." 

This new role of Assistant Superintendent of Human Capital and Operations has been strategically designed to combine two previously separate positions: Executive Director of Human Resources and Executive Director of Operations. By merging these responsibilities under one leadership position, the district is streamlining its administrative structure and achieving cost savings, while strengthening alignment between organizational strategy and operational excellence.
