Estacada High School teams excel with record state qualifiers and outstanding coaching staff

The Estacada Schools Board of Directors meeting on March 12, 2025, highlighted significant achievements in the district's wrestling program and discussed important administrative matters, including transparency requirements for board members.

During the meeting, it was reported that seven students qualified for the state wrestling competition, with only one graduating this year, indicating a strong future for the team. The district has seen a notable increase in participation, with more students attending state events than ever before. The wrestling program has also benefited from the involvement of multiple college-level coaches, enhancing the quality of training for students at both the high school and middle school levels. This year marked the first time a girl became a state champion at the kid level, showcasing the program's commitment to inclusivity and growth.

In addition to wrestling, the board addressed the upcoming SEI (Statement of Economic Interest) filing, which aims to promote transparency among board members regarding potential conflicts of interest. This requirement, now in its third year, mandates that board members disclose any financial connections that may impact their roles. The discussion emphasized the importance of accountability in public service.

The meeting also celebrated the induction of 24 new members into the National Honor Society at Estacada High School, bringing the total membership to 45. This recognition reflects the district's commitment to academic excellence and student achievement.

Overall, the meeting underscored the district's progress in sports and academics while reinforcing the importance of transparency in governance. The board's efforts to foster a supportive environment for students and staff continue to yield positive results, positioning Estacada Schools for future success.
