Lakeridge Principal Moves Up To Assistant Superintendent

From Lake Oswego School District: Lake Oswego School District’s Interim Superintendent Michael Musick announced that he has appointed Lakeridge High School Principal Jennifer Schiele as interim Assistant Superintendent for the 2018-2019 school year.

“I am excited to promote Jennifer,” said Musick. “Her work at Lakeridge High School exemplifies the district’s vision of 'all means all.' The increase in her school’s graduation rate, the reduction in Ds/Fs, and the increase in the number of students taking AP courses are the reflection of a leader who motivates her staff to reach absolutely every student.

“She is a collaborative leader who leads by example," Musick continued. "She asks her staff to approach their work by building relationships with students as a central part of how they teach … not just having students get excellent grades.”

Her responsibilities will include curriculum and instructional program development, technology, and oversight for the four areas of our strategic plan. She will take on her new role July 1.

Schiele has been principal of Lakeridge High School since 2012. She joined the district in 2003 as a Waluga Junior High School counselor. She was promoted to vice principal at Waluga the following year.

In 2005, she moved to the assistant principal position at Lakeridge High School before going back to Waluga as principal from 2008-2011.

Before joining LOSD, Schiele was a school guidance counselor for Ladue School District in Ladue, MO for two years. She began her career as a guidance counselor and math teacher for the Kansas City School district in 1997.

In 2009, she received her doctorate in Education Leadership & Administration from Lewis & Clark College.

In addition, Schiele holds a master’s of science degree in Counseling Psychology from the University of Kansas and a bachelor of science degree in Education from Iowa State University.

Schiele will replace outgoing Assistant Superintendent Joe Morelock as he leaves to head up Newberg Public Schools as their interim superintendent.

Schiele lives in West Linn with her husband Scott, their two children Flynn and Brooklyn, and their two basset hounds. She enjoys spending time with her family and golfing or playing tennis with friends.
