Wendy Moore ~ Principal

Hello Stayton Community!

I am delighted to have served as the principal of Stayton Elementary School since 2013. I have been in the education field for more than two decades. I spent the first 12 of those years teaching mostly first and second grade at Miller Elementary School in Salem.  I also spent a year as their instructional coach. I gained a lot of experience and knowledge during my time as a teacher and now as a principal.  

My undergraduate degree in Liberal Arts was obtained from Simpson University as well as my fifth year teaching credential.  I obtained my Masters of Education in Education Administration from Concordia University. I am currently completing the coursework for my Continuing Administrative License there as well.    

I have been married since 1987, and have two grown daughters.  Our oldest daughter is employed as a middle school orchestra teacher.  Our youngest daughter is completing her degree at Portland State. I enjoy spending time with my family, playing games, watching movies and listening to live music.  When I am not spending time with my family, I enjoy spending time with friends and reading. My summers are spent traveling, as this is a love of mine. I look forward to a great school year here at Stayton Elementary!
