Umatilla School District

​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. Mr. Cotterell will be replacing Mrs. Guentert as principal at Clara Brownell Middle School. Joining him on the team will be Mr. Humphrey as Dean of Students. At McNary Heights Elementary, Mrs. Coyle will transition from Assistant Principal to Principal of MHES. We have hired Mr. Glaze to serve as interim Assistant Principal for MHES in the coming year and we will do a full search for an Assistant Principal for the 2022-23 school year and beyond. Please see the infographics for more information on each leader.​ Thank you, leadership team! We look forward to the work you'll do for Umatilla students!
