Welcome to the Ellensburg School District. It is a privilege to serve a community deeply committed to empowering learners and inspiring growth. As superintendent, I am honored to lead a district shaped by a shared vision: every student known, challenged, and prepared for their future.
Our 2025–2030 Strategic Plan guides this work with clarity and purpose. Together, we are building strong foundations in early learning, ensuring equity and excellence across classrooms, nurturing student well-being through agency and connection, and preparing graduates who are future-ready. These priorities reflect not only what we believe about learning but what we believe about our students: they are capable, creative, resilient, and deserving of every opportunity we can provide.
Across our schools, you will see these commitments in action. You will find safe, welcoming spaces where students feel they belong; rigorous and meaningful learning experiences that stretch their thinking; and strong partnerships with families and the broader community. You will also see the Portrait of a Graduate come to life as our students grow as effective communicators, adaptive thinkers, responsible citizens, and self-aware young adults ready to thrive in college, careers, and life.
As we move forward together, I encourage you to stay connected through our website, district communications, and school events. Your involvement strengthens our collective impact and ensures that every learner has the support they need to flourish.
Thank you for your commitment to the Ellensburg School District. With shared purpose and partnership, we will continue building a learning community where every student can grow, achieve, and dream boldly.
Together, we will achieve great things.
Warm regards,
Troy Tornow
