Frank Hauser Biography and Resume

Frank Hauser
“The Anchorage School District was my home for over two

decades, and I care deeply about the students, parents,
families, and staff in the district. I have strong ties to ASD
and would be honored to serve as superintendent and work
collaboratively with the community to fulfill the vital mission of
“educating all students for success in life.”
Biography
Frank Hauser currently serves as superintendent of the Sitka School District in
Southeast Alaska. Superintendent Hauser is dedicated to supporting students,
families, staff, and the community. He believes in collaborative leadership, open
communication, and a student-centered approach. From his days teaching Adaptive
Aquatics as a high school lifeguard in Palmer and throughout his career, Mr. Hauser
has had one principle that guides all his decisions as an educator: What’s best for
kids?
Mr. Hauser came to his chosen profession not because school was always easy for
him but because it wasn’t. He has devoted his career to making sure that each and
every student has the supports they need, access to challenging curriculum, and
opportunities for success. In his 24 years in public education in Alaska, Mr. Hauser has
worked in nearly every type of school, including elementary, middle, and high schools,
and a K-12 optional school. Mr. Hauser served as a music teacher, director of fine
arts, assistant principal, and principal of Robert Service High School in the Anchorage
School District before becoming superintendent of the Sitka School District. He is
honored to have been selected as Alaska Principal of the Year and, by colleagues
statewide, as president-elect of the Alaska Association of Secondary School Principals.
As superintendent, Mr. Hauser works in close partnership with superintendents across
Alaska and serves on the board of the Southeast Regional Resource Center (SERRC).
Superintendent Hauser is a long-time advocate for Alaska’s public schools and a proud
champion of Alaska’s students. He is a graduate of the Mat-Su School District and the
University of Alaska system.
