Longtime superintendent of Washington Township Schools to retire
The longtime superintendent of Washington Township Schools in Indianapolis announced her upcoming retirement Friday.
Nikki Woodson, who has been superintendent of the school district since 2011, announced she will retire on June 30, 2025, according to the district’s website.
She first started with Washington Township Schools in 2009.
“During this time, the district has transformed by overcoming complexities and challenges, embracing increased diversity of our students, raising achievement resulting in a double-digit increase in graduation rate, successfully passing two major referendum campaigns and the deployment of their plans, as well as guiding the school community through a global pandemic,” Woodson said in a statement posted on the district’s website.

Woodson plans to lead the 2024-25 school year with a continued focus on the improvement efforts outlined in the District Strategic Plan, according to the district’s website.
The timing of Woodson’s announcement will allow the Washington Township Schools Board of Education time to complete a comprehensive superintendent search and implement a transition process.
“WTS and the entire Washington Township community congratulate Dr. Woodson on her retirement and thank her for giving well over a decade of professional service to our students, staff, and community,” School Board President Deirdre George Davis stated on the district’s website. “The Board understands that this is a critical position that will shape the future vision of WTS. Equally important to the selection process will be a transition between Dr. Woodson and her successor.”
The board will post the position soon and conduct a comprehensive search process with a final selection of the next superintendent announcement this fall.
