Green Park Principal says good-bye at end of year

Green Park Principal Gina Yonts is bidding the district farewell after 27 years of service. Yonts has accepted the position of Director of Principal Support, Eastern Washington with the Association of Washington School Principals. She begins July 1. Yonts spent 11 years in the classroom as a teacher at Berney Elementary. She went into administration 16 years ago. She was Assistant Principal at Garrison Middle School for six years and spent another five years as the school’s principal. She has been in her current role for the past five years.

“The growth, learning and investment in me as a teacher and administrator these past 27 years by the Walla Walla Public School system are appreciated and valued beyond measure,” said Yonts. “It’s a blessing that our family is able to continue living in the Walla Walla Valley and continue to be a part of this wonderful community. Moving forward, I am thrilled to have the opportunity to impact regional school systems through principal mentoring and support.”
