Hi, my name is Deanna East, and I’m the Executive Director of the North Thurston Education Foundation. I am deeply passionate about ensuring that all students have their basic needs met and the resources to succeed in life. With 20 years of experience in public education, I’ve dedicated myself to improving educational outcomes for youth in our community.
I have 2 sons that attended North Thurston Public Schools, and both graduated from Timberline. They both have been able to follow their dream careers, and I know that was with the help of the programs they were able to access and some inspirational teachers they had.
In addition to my role at NTEF, I’m an active member of Lacey Rotary, an ambassador for the Lacey Chamber, and a board member of All Kids Win. Inspired by NTEF’s commitment to equitable access to education, I’m honored to serve in this role and support NTPS students and the community we serve.
