Congratulations, Mrs. Guentert! She's been selected as the new principal of Greenwood Elementary in LaGrande. Mrs. Guentert has commuted from LaGrande for the past 13 years and while we will miss her, we support her desire to be closer to her home and family. We appreciate Mrs. G and all she's done for Umatilla schools and wish her the very best in her new role.
We are excited to annouce our new leadership teams at McNary Heights Elementary and Clara Brownell Middle School for the 2021-22 school year.
