Prior to NTPS, Monty served as the superintendent in Kittitas School District and has held the roles of principal, assistant principal, teacher, and coach.
“Sabin’s 25 years of experience aligns with the needs and objectives of MLSD,” states Board Chair Kevin Fuhr. “He brings a strong background in leadership, community engagement, fiscal responsibility, and knowledge of building school facilities.”
“My time working in four various school districts has provided me with unique experiences and a perspective that have been valuable to my work,” says Sabin. “I know my successful experience and training have provided me the ability to successfully serve the students, staff, and community of Moses Lake School District.”
