PUYALLUP, Wash. After 22 years, Washington State University alumnus Tony Apostle has resigned from his position as the superintendent of the Puyallup School District. Apostle joined the district in 1990 and was appointed superintendent in 2004.

Yeomans served as the superintendent of Meridian School District in Bellingham before moving to the Puyallup School District.
