Longtime educator Maryam Naser is the New Westminster school district’s new associate superintendent.

Naser started her new job with the district June 1. Before that, she had been the district’s director of instruction, learning and innovation, a post she held for three years.

Naser has spent 20 years working in classrooms and at the district level, including on collaborative projects with teachers, staff and administration, according to a press release from the district.

“I am thrilled to have Maryam Naser as our new associate superintendent,” superintendent Karim Hachlaf said in a press release. “After a competitive and comprehensive selection process, Maryam’s depth and breadth of experience spanning pre-kindergarten to graduation in curriculum and instruction make her the best fit for this role.

“As the current director of instruction, Maryam has built positive relationships and a strong reputation amongst our partner groups, and now, as associate superintendent, I look forward to her continued commitment and leadership as we maintain our unwavering commitment for student success.”

Naser takes over from Hachlaf, who was hired as superintendent earlier this year following former superintendent Pat Duncan’s departure. Hachlaf had been associate superintendent for the district since last summer when longtime associate superintendent Janet Grant retired.
