Principal's Corner

Greetings Kittitas Secondary Parents, Staff, and Students,

I am beyond excited to start off the 2019-20 school year! I look forward to the opportunity to meet each and every one of you in the coming weeks. This is an exciting time for Kittitas Secondary School with new faces, energy, and excitement.  I want to extend a warm invitation to any parents, staff, or students who would like to stop by for a visit. Communication is the key to the work we do at Kittitas Secondary School, and my door is always open.

This next year, we will continue to build on the strengths of the secondary school’s long-standing reputation of excellence in a community that places a high value on the education of its students. Kittitas Secondary has a talented staff and a supportive community which creates an environment for all students to directly benefit from this partnership. It is my belief that our efforts will support the positive experience of our students so they can flourish, achieve academic excellence, become emotionally and physically stronger, and grow in their talents.

The 2019-2020  school year promises to bring new adventures and experiences for students, staff, and the Kittitas Community. I look forward to the opportunity to serve you and work towards strengthening the Coyote traditions.

Sincerely,

Heather Burfeind

Principal
