District searches for new OCHS Principal


District searches for new OCHS Principal

After six years leading one of Oregon’s largest high schools Principal Tom Lovell plans to step down from his role at Oregon City High School in June. Superintendent Larry Didway said Lovell’s replacement will have big shoes to fill.

"Mr. Lovell will leave a legacy of outstanding accomplishments at OCHS, and we want the next principal to build on his success," Didway said.

 Lovell has been a transformative leader at the school, which serves 2,300 students. By adding support programs for struggling students, he raised the school’s graduation rate to one of the highest in the state, over 92 percent. He also worked with staff to create the Pioneer Pantry, which provides free food to homeless students and those from low-income families.

Prior to launching the search for Lovell’s replacement, the Oregon City School District is polling the community about what characteristics the school’s next principal should have.
Community members are invited to participate in the survey.
