Kernels Of Effect

We are thrilled to share this exciting milestone: the North Kitsap Schools Foundation has hired its first-ever Executive Director, Stefan Keel. This moment marks a turning point—one that strengthens our ability to fill critical gaps, amplify our impact, and build a future where every North Kitsap student is seen, supported, and inspired to reach their full potential.

Having served the longest tenure for any Board Trustee with the North Kitsap Schools Foundation, Dennis Peters has decided to step away from the board. Out of NKSF’s 23-year existence, Dennis served on the board for nearly half of it. As of the end of 2025, he’ll have completed 10 years of service in various roles, most notably as Treasurer and President.

The North Kitsap Schools Foundation is excited to share that we’re rolling out a new messaging platform that connects directly with our website — making it easier for you to stay informed and manage how often you hear from us. Our new system gives you more choice and flexibility over what kinds of updates you receive and how often. To make this transition smooth, we’ll be starting fresh with a new contact list — so you’ll need to resubscribe to continue receiving updates.
