Joseph School District Superintendent Search

January 14th, 2026

The Joseph School District has selected Northwest Leadership Associates (NWLA) to

lead their superintendent search for the 2026-27 school year. Jon Peterson from NWLA

will serve as the lead consultant throughout the process.

Current superintendent Lance Homan recently announced he will be stepping down at

the end of the 2025-26 school year.

The Joseph Board of Directors and NWLA are currently soliciting feedback regarding

the next superintendent through an online survey. Parents, staff members, and

community members are encouraged to complete the survey. The survey link is here:

The search process will be ongoing over the next few months, with preliminary

interviews and finalist interviews occurring in April, 2026, and the announcement of the

final selection shortly thereafter.

If you would like to contact Jon Peterson with NWLA directly, he can be reached at 541-
