Canyons School District administrator selected as next Provo superintendent

PROVO — Wendy Dau, a veteran educator, school principal and district-level administrator, was recently named superintendent of Provo City School District.

Dau, whose parents immigrated to the United States from Denmark in the 1950s, said her father impressed upon her at a young age that she should obtain as much education as possible, because "education has the ability to open up endless opportunities for all when we work together." "COVID taught me one thing and that is, you have to be communicating and be on the same page as your parents or you cannot get through the challenges that our society is facing unless we all work together," she said.

According to a letter from Dau to the school community posted on the school district's website, she is a graduate of Bountiful High School. Dau said Provo City School District's diversity excites her "as I believe we can create great opportunities and meet the needs of all students and families. I assure you that I will work hard for our kids and our families and our employees, and I hope that the passion that I have for education will be contagious."
