Lori Thompson

I’ve been honored to work with St. Helens School District for the past 23 years, where I have served as a Special Education Teacher, a Special Education Coordinator and, for the past 8 years, as the Director of Student Services. My passion is working and advocating for students who have been historically marginalized.

As the Director, I support Special Education, 504 Plans, English Language Learners, and Nursing Services. I oversee the district’s Title I-A, II-A, and IV-A Plans. In addition, I enjoy collaborating and working with others on a variety of teams, such as Strategic Planning, Negotiations (Classified and Licensed), Student Investment Account, First Responders, Threat Assessment, Family Resource Handbook Team, and Leadership.

In my free time, I enjoy riding class IV off-road vehicles (Quads), camping, hiking, yoga (fun fact, I am a 500-hour certified yoga teacher), gardening, creating art, and spending time with family and friends in the beautiful Pacific Northwest.
