On Thursday, July 16th, the Renville County West School Board approved the hiring of Doug Froke to serve as the Interim Superintendent for the 2020-2021 school year. Froke has spent 24 years as a Superintendent in Minnesota, having served the Fulda and Windom School Districts, and over the past 13 years, the Detroit Lakes School District. His tenure in Detroit Lakes was marked by the US News and World Report’s designation as one of the top high schools in the state of Minnesota and in the nation.
“I’m really excited to be a part of the RCW School District. I can see there’s a great deal of pride in the school district and I look forward to working with the communities, school board and staff on making sure we meet the needs of the children.”
Doug is currently married to his wife Coleen, and they have two sons Conner (20) and Carson (17).
