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.

Earthstock 2025 was a huge success!
Each year, special education students from across the region gather at Portland's Crystal Ballroom for a truly unique and uniquely joyful high school dance.
Earthstock began in 1992 at the request of a young student who was confined to a wheelchair and was disappointed he couldn’t attend the high school dances because of transportation issues. There were 60 kids at the first event. Earthstock now entertains more than 700 students, staff and volunteers, and is rapidly becoming one the largest events of its kind in the country.
Students at Skyline school were recently treated to a visit from PPS teacher-turned-graphic novelist Aron Nels Steinke.
Steinke is the award-winning author and illustrator behind the popular Mr. Wolf's Class series. He also taught at Skyline during the 2015-16 school year.
During his visit to Skyline, he opened up to a group of third, fourth, and fifth graders about how he got started as an author despite struggling to read and write in school. He also read a short excerpt from his newest book, Speechless.
Speechless tells the story of Mira, a sixth grader who spends her first year of middle school finding herself and her voice. Skyline students were some of the book's first readers. We can't wait to see what Mr. Steinke writes next!
On May 2, Portland Mayor Keith Wilson delivered his first state of the city address at Franklin High School.
Members of the district and Franklin student councils had the chance to hear Wilson speak about his plans and vision for Portland’s future. Student Representative JJ Kunsevi opened the panel with a powerful question about education funding and the impact on students.
It was an evening that put public education front-and-center and a chance for PPS student leaders to shine.
