Patron Tour guests learn more about Walla Walla schools during recent visit
Superintendent Mick Miller conducted a Patron Tour Wednesday morning of Edison Elementary, Wa-Hi and Lincoln High School. Miller’s goal with the program is to build relationships, learn about each other and listen. The district is proposing a bond measure February 12 to improve Wa-Hi. Patron Tour guest and district parent Natalie Scrivens was taken by what she saw at Wa-Hi.

“I had no idea the classrooms were so small and full of backpacks and kids,” said Natalie Scrivens. “They don’t have enough computers in the classrooms or access to technology. They need desks and chairs that are comfortable and speakers in the classrooms so the teachers can be heard. It would help a lot for the kids to have these as part of their education. I had no idea what was there and how much better it could be.”

The district is planning its next Patron Tour Wednesday, Jan. 23 from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Patron Tour guests will meet with Superintendent Miller, tour Blue Ridge Elementary, Wa-Hi and Lincoln High School and conclude with lunch and a debriefing.
