Hello, I am Kate Knight

I am a results-driven leader who takes action, not just positions. Having seen firsthand how my four children have benefited from Wayzata's exceptional education, I decided to run for the School Board — because, when challenges arise, my instinct is to move beyond identifying problems to developing  real solutions.

I am not entering this role as a politician, but as someone with years of experience leading in complex environments. I am here to contribute that experience as the district navigates challenges and opportunities ahead. I am here to listen, to engage in difficult conversations, and to work toward alignment so we can deliver the best outcomes for all students.

My focus is on supporting leaders, building consensus, and driving results. Our board navigates complex issues that require thoughtful leadership and collaboration. That’s why it is critical to have leaders with proven experience, steady judgment, and a willingness to partner with our highly skilled administration and staff.

If elected, my goal is to help achieve the district's strategic goals through 2027 and raise performance to an even higher standard. Our children are our community's greatest asset and most important investment. Working together, we can ensure every student continues to receive the excellent education they deserve. 

I would love to talk and hear what's on your mind.  You can contact me at info@kateknight.org. And, if you believe we should support strong schools with strong leaders, I would love your vote!
