Welcome New Principal, Lisa Aguilar

Dear Orenco Community,

I am pleased to announce that a new principal for Orenco Elementary School has been selected: Ms. Lisa Aguilar.

Ms. Aguilar is currently an English Language Development Facilitator at Echo Shaw Elementary School in Forest Grove, and has been actively involved in the district’s Summer Success Academy since 2008. She is also an adjunct faculty member at Lewis and Clark College and a part-time faculty member at Concordia University. Prior to these roles, she taught in both English-only and Two-Way Immersion classrooms at the elementary level.

She is a published author and frequent speaker on the topics of multi-lingual and multi-cultural education, and culturally responsive teaching. In 2011, Ms. Aguilar won the Civic Engagement Award for Excellence in Community-University Partnerships from Portland State University.

Ms. Aguilar is very excited to join the team here at Orenco and I don’t blame her! In the short time I’ve been here, I’ve come to truly appreciate the motivation, dedication and involvement of students, staff, families, and community members.

I will continue in my current role as Interim Principal through the end of the school year, and Ms. Aguilar will officially begin on July 1.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 503-844-1370.

Sincerely,

Mike Strande
Interim Principal

5th Grade
