It’s time to start preparing for the 2026-2027 school year at North Powder Charter School. We are happy to welcome a few new teachers who will be joining us; Ms. Clark is going to be our new MS/HS Math Teacher; Mrs. Kmetic is moving to Title and ELL, Ms. Hall is our new 4th grade teacher; Mr. Denne is our new music teacher, and Ms. Carr will be taking over 3rd grade while Ms. Logan is on maternity leave. Mr. Brett Baxter is our new superintendent. He comes to us most recently from the Wallowa County ESD, serving as Assistant Superintendent, with a variety of roles in that region. We are excited about our new staff, as we have hired top notch individuals, and hope you will take the time to meet them.
