Principal Powell has spent more than 21 years in education, including 16 years as a classroom teacher before moving into school leadership. She comes from a family of educators! She studied Elementary Education at Pacific Lutheran University, earned her Master of Education in Reading Curriculum and Instruction from Grand Canyon University, and completed her Principal Certification at Western Governors University. She also holds endorsements in Reading and Earth Science.

She is passionate about creating a welcoming school where students feel safe, connected, and excited to learn. One of her favorite parts of the school culture is the House System, and she is especially proud to cheer for Nukumori House with a big “Fly Dragons Fly!” She is dedicated to keeping student learning and growth at the heart of every decision.

When she is not at school, Principal Powell loves spending time with her husband, their three children, and the family’s three dogs. She enjoys jeeping, watching football, and going on adventures both big and small. She values laughter, connection, and time spent making memories with the people she loves most.
