Dr. Darla Hoover named as the next EVSC superintendent
EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WEHT) — Dr. Darla Hoover has been named the next Evansville-Vanderburgh School Corporation superintendent.
Her appointment marks the first female EVSC superintendent.
Dr. Hoover is currently serving as the Chief of Schools and Instructional Care for EVSC.
This comes after Dr. David Smith announced his plans to retire in January. Dr. Smith delivered his final State of the School address earlier this month and says stepping down is bittersweet. He has been with the EVSC for 43 years, including 14 years as the superintendent.
Dr. Hoover will officially step into the role on July 1.
Eyewitness News has a crew at the EVSC meeting and we will provide more information as it becomes available.
