The students, staff and administration of McKay Creek Elementary School thank you for visiting our website.

August 1, 2024

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the 2024-2025 school year!

As the new principal at McKay Creek Elementary, I am looking forward to joining this amazing community of Mustangs: students, families, staff and community partners. I feel fortunate to be able to be a leader here as I begin my 26th year in education. The Pendleton School District was home to me for 21 of those years. I was a classroom teacher at Washington Elementary for eighteen of those years.  My grade level assignments included first through third grades. For three years, I served as a Child Development Specialist at the Pendleton Early Learning Center.  Most recently, I served as a Dean of Students in the Hermiston School District. It feels great to be ‘back home’ with the Pendleton School District!

As your principal, it is important to me that everyone who enters our school feels welcome and is excited to be here!  This attitude enables us to meet the challenges of academic excellence in a positive and nurturing environment. Our staff is committed to providing a safe and enriching environment for all our students to learn and grow.  My door is always open, and I welcome your input.

Communication between home and school is critical.  We will provide information to families via Remind, the district website (www.pendleton.k12.or.us) and the school website (mces.pendleton.k12.or.us), text, email, phone calls, and Facebook (mces.pendleton.k12.or.us)

I look forward to working with you as a team to help all students achieve their goals.
Please plan on joining us for our Open House on August 22nd from 4:30-6:30 pm.

Let the Adventure Begin!
