Desiree Fisher Named Principal For Lakeridge High School

From Lake Oswego School District: On the heels of promoting Jennifer Schiele to an interim administrative position, Lake Oswego School District has named Desiree Fisher as the new interim Principal at Lakeridge High School. She will take on her new role July 1.

Fisher joined LOSD in 2004. She has been assistant principal in the district since 2012 and at Lakeridge High School for the last two years.

“Desiree is a tireless advocate for students,” said Interim Assistant Superintendent Jennifer Schiele. “She has been part of the team that helped us move our graduation rate from 88% to 95% in three years. It takes a laser focus on supporting students while challenging them in order to accomplish something like that. She will continue our work to engage every student in order to help them meet and exceed their potential."

Fisher has served as a teacher, school counselor and dean of students. She received her bachelor’s in English from the University of Colorado, master’s in middle-level education from Walden University and an educational specialist degree in administrative leadership from George Fox University.

“I am looking forward to this new chapter in my life. Being a part of the Pacer Family means we all find a way to contribute to excellence and I work everyday to support students and to find ways for each of them to thrive. I am so proud of our students, their dedicated families and our amazing staff here at Lakeridge and I am honored to be on this journey with them. Go Pacers!!” said Fisher.

Fisher lives in Lake Oswego with her husband Keith and their two children Dylan, who graduates from Lake Oswego High School this month and Emma who starts high school at Lakeridge in the fall. You can find her boating on the Columbia, skiing at Hood and quad riding at the dunes during her spare time.
