The Oregon Teacher Pathway program is a great way for Umatilla students to explore teaching as a career. We’re proud of alumnus, Ms. Mendoza, for her work as an educator today, and an OTP student not so long ago. Great work, Viking! https://www.eou.edu/mountaineer-magazine/speaking-her-language/

We have confirmed with the Oregon Department of Education that the Governor's announcement today does not impact schools. We will continue with our current operations, and continue to work toward LIPI and hybrid options as the metrics allow.

Students, do you ever wonder how much we miss you? Well, Mr. Gebers still does bus duty, just in case you happen to pull in. Yes, we all miss you THIS much. Only Gebers wears flip-flops with socks though. Stay safe, Vikings, we love you!

We will be starting MAPS testing at the high school Monday, Sept. 14. Students will receive an invite from their Advisory teacher. They must log on their computer sometime between 9:15-11:30 or 1:30-4:00. Teachers will lead them through the testing process. There will be no regular classes this week due to testing.
