This question is as put in the title.
It is general knowledge that legislators, high executive offices, and some judges are elected. But are any other elected government offices?
An example could be a position in an independent agency—part of the executive but whose officials are not constitutional officers—of the federal, or of any state or local governments, that is elected. A non-example would be the chair of a yacht club, which is elected but not part of government.

Most places in the United States have independent government agencies that perform services for particular districts. These agencies normally collect "property taxes". These taxes are either proportional to the assessed value of real estate, cars, and/or personal property in the jurisdiction, and/or are a fee per housing unit or lot or square foot of particular form(s) of real estate. These agencies typically have elected boards. For example:
- School boards
- Fire districts
- Irrigation districts
- Sewer commissions
- [Potable] water commissions
- Port authorities (these often control airports, not just harbors)
Some of these districts have highly restricted legislative power. For example, school boards oversee school curricula, constrained by state guidelines. (But they do not control the curricula of private schools and homeschools within their boundaries.) Some fire districts can prohibit activities or real estate development likely to cause devastating wildfires. Irrigation districts used to impose rules for receiving water that made it hard to grow certain crops. Sewer commissions can tax or prohibit new construction.

@holomenicus -- It depends on the state. Many states have a "Superintendent of Schools" (or a similarly-titled official) who is a state-level constitutional officer. Some states have a state-level board that approves or rejects proposed textbooks; these states curate a list of textbooks for each subject. Local districts who purchase from the list can get reimbursed by the state. California's and Texas' textbook approval processes are the most influential. In some states, certain curriculum guidelines are a matter of state law. The 1926 Scopes Trial was a famous debate about such a law.

Some examples include the Sheriff, County Treasurer, Tax Collector/Assessor, District Attorney, District Clerk, County Attorney, County Clerk, County Commissioners and Constables.
I live in Texas and just about everyone that falls under the state infrastructure is elected. This includes the structure of county governments. The current Texas Constitution was written in reaction to Reconstruction following the Civil War and reflected a great mistrust of elected officials.
Here's a list of elected officials in one county in Texas.
As a side note, lots of legislation in Texas is written in the form of Constitutional amendments that must be voted on by the people of the state.
