Dear Enumclaw School District Community,

Celebrating Our Principals 

This month, we proudly celebrate Principal Appreciation Month and honor the incredible leaders who guide our schools with vision and compassion. Our principals are leaders of learning, dedicated to creating environments where students, teachers, and families succeed together.

Each day, they live out our Five Commitments, believing in the potential of every student, building strong relationships, removing barriers to success, fostering belonging, and celebrating growth. They go above and beyond, giving selflessly of their time and talents to ensure every learner is seen, supported, and inspired.

You may not know this, but many of our principals began their careers as classroom teachers, and they continue to carry that same love for learning and care for students that first called them to education. Their leadership reminds us what it means to serve with heart, humility, and hope.

To our principals, thank you for your unwavering dedication to doing whatever it takes to make dreams a reality. 

Happy Principal Appreciation Month!

Shaun
