Tuality Plains High School Principal
Just 45 minutes outside of Portland, where the Willamette Valley meets the Coast Range, you will find the community of Forest Grove. Founded in 1841, Forest Grove is one of the oldest communities in Oregon. While widely recognized as the home of Pacific University, it is also the heart of the Forest Grove School District, which proudly serves the distinct communities of Forest Grove, Cornelius, Dilley, and Gales Creek. The rich diversity of these areas strengthens our district and fuels our core pillars: “Care Deeply,” “Stand Strong,” and “Adapt and Grow.”
As the district's alternative high school, Tuality Plains High School (TPHS) plays a critical role in our district. It provides an environment where its approximately 175 students receive a more personalized approach to learning where staff can meet students exactly where they are in their academic journey. At TPHS, learning is personal, hands-on, and always supportive.
TPHS seamlessly blends small group instruction, online coursework, and independent study to create space for students to work at their own pace. Central to our mission is the Discovery Program, a transformative six-week immersive journey where students build essential competencies in communication, problem-solving, and conflict resolution.
Going beyond the classroom, our dedicated staff curate weekly, hands-on experiences in a variety of local and regional businesses where students can discover career opportunities awaiting them after graduation.
We are seeking a visionary leader who is passionate about non-traditional education and committed to fostering an environment where every student feels seen and empowered. If you are a strong academic leader who will advocate for our students’ success, create an atmosphere of meeting the hands-on needs of our students, and can expand student opportunities in the community, we look forward to hearing from you.
