Congratulations to Dr. Doug DeVore, Certificated Administrator of the Year, and Abby Saadat, Classified Administrator of the Year.

Dr. DeVore has been with the district since 1994 and has served as the Superintendent for the past eight years.  During his tenure as Superintendent the district has achieved numerous successes.  Under his leadership all nine schools have been recognized as California Distinguished Schools and two of the district’s schools, La Costa Heights and Olivenhain Pioneer, have been selected as National Blue Ribbon Schools. Dr. DeVore was appointed Superintendent in the fall of 1997 and took over the beginning stages of the implementation for Prop O’s 29.5 million dollar modernization projects for all nine schools.  DeVore has been active in the community for many years. He serves on the City of Encinitas Liaison Committee and is active in the Encinitas Rotary Club.  He is currently the Co-Chair of the San Diego County Superintendents Technology Advisory Committee, the President of the California Association of Low Wealth School Districts and a member of the Board of Trustees for the Classroom of The Future Foundation.  He was recently recognized as the Superintendent of the Year by the North County Association of California School Administrators local chapter.

Abby Saadat has been with the district for one year. He has many years of school business office experience. Prior to becoming Assistant Superintendent of Business Services, Abby served as Director of Accounting with the Fallbrook Union School District, Financial Accounting Technician with the San Diego County Office of Education, and Administrative Aide in the San Diego Unified School District. Needless to say, he brings extensive experience to the District in school financial management and leadership. During Abby's brief tenure in the District, he has quickly established himself as a thoughtful, caring, and very personable individual. His warm and engaging personality has won him popularity with all he meets. He is a welcomed addition to our management team.
