Some Good news for Yakima in-city High School, Eisenhower...

 Eisenhower High School Principal Stacey Locke was recently named the state's top high school principal for the year. The diverse population in Yakima presented a challenge to Locke when she was hired as the school's principal in 2003. Eisenhower, nicknamed IKE locally, has a student population of close to 2000. Under the guidance and direction of Principal Locke, the school population has become a "culture of one", unifying students, staffmembers, and families as a single community. She has made the high school experience more personal for each individual, raised test scores, and reduced the school's drop-out rate.  

 The award is handed out each year by the Association of Washington School Principals. This award places her in the running for the National Principal of the Year award.


***I'm thrilled about this because I have three kids currently attending IKE, plus one that graduated in 2005, and I have seen the dramatic improvements from a parents viewpoint. Congrats Stacey Locke!!

Shannon-that really is quite an accomplishment! I have two brother in-laws, one is a principal and his brother is a vice-principal at different school districts, what a huge job. Thanks for bring our attention to this marvelous feat.
