Meet the Principal

Hello, Families!

Welcome to our Edmonds Heights website. There is a lot of information here to give you an overview of our school. It's a great start but inevitably you will have questions about how things work. Please know we're a phone call away and can always help provide answers and guidance - just call our main office. 

As I hope was clear from touring the website, Edmonds Height is a K-12 parent partnership public school in the Edmonds School District. We are an Alternative Learning Experience school, which means that some of the student learning happens outside of the classroom. Most of our teaching staff are also Advisors who help families develop and monitor a Written Student Learning Plan, which captures both the on-campus learning and at-home learning. 

As a parent partnership school, we thrive on genuine and frequent collaboration with our families, much of which exists through the Advising process. 

We strive to be a welcoming and inclusive school where students feel they can show up as they are. Families are on campus and in the classrooms frequently supporting their students and giving our school an overall sense that we're doing this together. 

With a unique model comes a lot of complexities. I myself am new to Edmonds Heights this year, so I too am learning about our processes, our values, and our culture. I can say with certainty that it is a wonderful place for students. Together we are able to accomplish things in a student's learning that is very hard to achieve in a traditional setting. If you're a new family, I hope you are considering whether Edmonds Heights can be a good place for your student to learn. Again, please connect with us if you have questions that we can help answer.
