Ednovate’s Board of Directors has named Katie Hart as Chief Executive Officer, effective October 12, 2026.

A key Ednovate leader for more than a decade, Katie has helped grow the organization from its early stages into a network serving more than 2,800 students across Los Angeles and Orange County. Most recently serving as Interim CEO, she brings deep knowledge of Ednovate’s students, schools and communities—and a commitment to building on the organization’s strong foundation as we enter our next chapter.

"I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to continue serving a community that has meant so much to me for more than a decade. I’m excited to keep listening, learning and working alongside our students, families and staff as we build on what makes Ednovate special and shape our next chapter together, strengthening the student experience, deepening our impact and expanding access to greater opportunity for the students and families we serve,” said Katie Hart.
