Ella Boyce Kirk (c.1861 – 1930) was the first woman to become Superintendent of Schools in a Pennsylvania city,[1] and possibly the first in the United States.[2]

She was born in Bangor, Maine ca. 1861, and taught school in Bradford, Pennsylvania before moving to Pittsburgh. In 1890 she married wealthy oil man David Kirk (businessman).[1] She authored My Pilgrimage to Coue (1922).
