PSD Names New Assistant Principal to KPMS for Next School Year

After interviewing numerous candidates, Peninsula School District announced that Kim Kinney was selected as the new assistant principal of Key Peninsula Middle School beginning in the 2023-24 school year.

Kinney has five years of experience as a reading interventionist in the South Kitsap School District, seven years of teaching experience between PSD’s Minter Creek and Discovery Elementary schools. She spent the last year at Minter Creek as dean of students.

Principal Todd Hering of Minter Creek Elementary called Kinney an excellent leader who is great with kids, and said his staff really appreciated all the hard work she did.

“It’s hard to believe she’s only been here (as dean of students) for one year because she’s made such a big impact,” Hering said. “I’m excited both for Kim and for KPMS.”

“It’s comforting sending our kiddos up there knowing that there is such a great team at KPMS between Luke Grunberg and Kim,” he said. “I think they’re going to do a wonderful job. I know them both well enough to know that KPMS is in really good hands.”
