Greeting RHMS Community,
Greeting RHMS’ Community,
I humbly return to serve as RHMS’ principal. I am overjoyed and filled with excitement as I enter my third year as RHMS’ principal . We have made many strides as a school community but recognize that more improvements are needed. I look forward to working with our students, staff, and community to continue co-creating a school community that is inclusive of all perspectives, values, and identities. A school community where all students can strive to be their best selves.
Tôi khiêm tốn trở lại phục vụ với tư cách là hiệu trưởng của RHMS. Tôi vô cùng vui mừng và phấn khởi khi bước vào năm thứ ba làm hiệu trưởng của RHMS. Là một cộng đồng trường học, chúng ta đã đạt được nhiều tiến bộ và còn nhiều cải tiến phải thực hiện. Tôi mong muốn được làm việc với học sinh, nhân viên và cộng đồng của chúng ta để tiếp tục tạo ra một cộng đồng trường học bao gồm mọi quan điểm, giá trị và bản sắc. Một cộng đồng trường học nơi tất cả học sinh có thể phấn đấu để trở thành phiên bản tốt nhất của chính mình.

When Beckham Weatherby picks up his tuba, the rest of the world falls away.
“I don’t get that nervous and I don’t get stage fright at all,” he said. “I guess I got lucky with how my body reacts to performing in front of crowds.”
Which is something the McDaniel High School junior has done quite a bit of lately. Not only is he a member of the prestigious Portland Youth Philharmonic (PYP) and the PYP conservatory orchestra, but he recently earned first prize in the tuba solo performance category at the Oregon State Solo Music Championships.
The first things you notice when you walk into Ellie Jensen’s classroom at Boise-Eliot/Humboldt Elementary School are peace and warmth. Then you hear the laughter of children. Then you just might see two posters hanging on the walls that tell you a great deal about the kind of teacher she has been for the past 50 years. The posters simply say, “Leave a little sparkle wherever you go” and “Be a friend.”
Jensen, known as “Miss Ellie” to the hundreds of students she has taught in her half a century as a Portland Public Schools educator, can’t help but light up a room. And she is a friend to all children.
We dare you to drive by the Mainspring Food Pantry on the corner of 82nd Avenue and Fremont and not do a double take. Or a triple take.
Students from McDaniel High School’s art-focused Career Technical Education (CTE) class have spent the last four weeks turning the exterior walls of the pantry into one, huge, joyful mural as part of the course’s exploration of climate justice and community engagement.
A little over 30 years ago, a Madison High School student named Joseph Janson had a simple wish. He wanted to go to a dance. But nothing was simple for Joseph, who was born with Duchenne's Muscular Dystrophy and was confined to a wheelchair.
He confided his wish to Tony Nitz, who at that time was an educational assistant at Madison (now Leodis V. McDaniel High School). Tony had been working one-on-one with Joseph for months and he immediately went about making the young man’s dream come true.
“The truth is, I would have done anything for Joseph,” Nitz said. “He was a unique person, and we had a very special bond.”
