The Stevenson High School District 125 board has appointed Wendy Custable as the next superintendent of Stevenson High School, effective July 1, 2026.

She will succeed Eric Twadell, who is retiring after 33 years of service at the end of the 2025-26 school year.

Next school year, Custable will serve as associate superintendent, working with Twadell to ensure a smooth transition, according to a news release.
