Under her previous leadership, Wenatchee Athletics experienced significant success, and she established a strong foundation for our student-athletes that continues to influence our school culture today. We are excited to welcome her back home as our Director of Athletics and Activities, especially given the valuable knowledge and skill she has gained from her past roles"       --Wenatchee School Superintendent Kory Kalahar.
