Keynote Speaker Biography: Dr. Quintin Boyce

This year, we are honored to welcome Dr. Quintin Boyce as the keynote speaker for the Kappa League Showcase. A Chicago native currently residing in Tempe, Arizona, Dr. Boyce is the Associate Vice President of Educational Outreach at Arizona State University, where he leads K-12 school partnerships and inspires the next generation of scholars and leaders.

Dr. Boyce's journey in education began with a Bachelor’s degree from Arizona State University in 2000, followed by a Master’s degree in Secondary Education from Cambridge College in 2005, and a Doctorate from ASU in 2012. Initially planning to become a medical doctor, his passion for education was sparked during his senior year of college, leading him to dedicate over 20 years to K-12 education as a teacher, principal, district leader, and superintendent.

As an educator, Dr. Boyce has excelled in teaching diverse subjects, including biology, AP biology, chemistry, and forensics, earning recognition as an exemplary educator on both local and national levels. His leadership extended beyond the classroom, where he guided aspiring leaders, presented nationwide on effective school leadership, and served as an Executive Director of Teaching and Learning for Phoenix Union High School District.

In 2019, he took on the role of Superintendent in the Roosevelt School District, where he worked to improve educational opportunities and outcomes for students. Today, Dr. Boyce continues his mission of empowering communities through education at ASU, while contributing to several boards and leadership organizations.

Beyond his professional accomplishments, Dr. Boyce cherishes his family, including his wife Neda and their four children—daughters Brooke (15), Paige (11), and Ava (3), and son Harper (5). Known for his humor and zest for life, Dr. Boyce enjoys riding motorcycles, dreams of being a comedian, and proudly declares Chicago as the greatest city on earth, with unmatched pizza, skyline, and sports legacy.

Dr. Boyce's commitment to breaking barriers and building legacies aligns perfectly with this year’s theme. We are thrilled to have him share his journey and insights as we celebrate progress, perseverance, and the transformative power of education.
