After 26 years in education, Mr. Michael Wells has announced his retirement from his position as Superintendent/Principal effective July 1, 2026. During his career, Mr. Wells has dedicated himself to supporting students, staff, families, and the greater school community. His leadership at Elverta Elementary has focused on maintaining a positive learning environment, supporting academic growth, and fostering strong relationships throughout the district.
Mr. Wells shared the following message with the community:
“I have had the honor of finishing my career in education at Elverta Elementary. Working with the students and staff here has been a great experience and I can think of no better way to end a career in education. Thank you goes out to the community and families, along with everyone associated with Elverta Elementary, for keeping Elverta the kind school that it is.”
The Board of Trustees recognizes and appreciates Mr. Wells’ years of service, leadership, and commitment to the students and families of the district. We thank him for his dedication to public education and wish him the very best in his retirement.
The District is also pleased to announce the hiring of Mr. Troy Miller as the new Superintendent/Principal of Elverta Joint Elementary School District.
Mr. Miller joins Elverta from Arcohe Union School District in Herald, California, located in southern Sacramento County, where he served for 12 years as Superintendent/Principal. Mr. Miller earned a Master’s Degree in History from Northern Illinois University and a Master’s Degree in School Leadership from Concordia University.
