Our History

The Paul Linder Educational Foundation benefiting Central Kitsap School District was established in January 1986 and was incorporated in January 1987.  The Founders wished to recognize Paul Linder's lifetime commitment to education excellence, and they had enthusiastic support from the Central Kitsap School District Board of Directors and the Silverdale Chamber of Commerce.

Paul Linder began teaching in Central Kitsap Schools in 1947.  He coached baseball and basketball, and served as a principal and curriculum director, as well.  He became superintendent in 1974 and retired from the District in 1978.  Paul Linder was president of the Silverdale Chamber of Commerce and  a member of the Rotary club of Silverdale, as well as many other civic organizations.  He received the Washington Award in 1989 from the Washington Business and Public Relations Society of America.  His death on January 15, 1990, left a void in our community that spurred the ongoing Linder Foundation efforts to support educational excellence in Central Kitsap School District in honor of his memory.
