Interim Superintendent
Dr. Catherine Cost

By Sarah Shurge – During a meeting on Wednesday, June 25th, the Board of Education appointed Dr. Catherine Cost to serve as Interim Superintendent.
Dr. Cost has spent her career in public education, starting as a teacher and principal, then serving as the superintendent for Wyandotte Public Schools for just under nine years, and the assistant superintendent at Farmington Public Schools for eight years prior to that.
Dr. Cost earned her bachelor’s degree from the University of Michigan, her master’s from Oakland University, and her doctorate from Wayne State University.
Dr. Cost is passionate about supporting students and families, which is what brought her to Wayne-Westland Community Schools. Since starting in July, Dr. Cost has immersed herself in getting to know the community and District and becoming aware of big projects, such as the upcoming Bond initiative.
Dr. Cost is looking forward to seeing students return this fall and will help to provide stability and support for our students and staff during this transition.
Welcome Dr. Cost to the Wayne-Westland Community Schools District!
