Climbing Together - 4/9
An official update from Superintendent Ben Barton
Jana Yashinsky, Eagle Bluff Elementary Principal
In January, Todd Saner announced his plans to retire at the end of the school year after 26 years as an administrator at Eagle Bluff. We’re excited to share that our very own Jana Yashinsky has been selected as the next principal!
Jana began her career in Onalaska in 2010 as an Adaptive PE teacher serving all three elementary schools. In 2018, she became Director of Student Services in another district before returning to Onalaska in 2020 as Associate Principal at OMS. She will begin her new role on July 1, 2026.
Jennifer Gimmer, Director of Student Services
January also brought the retirement announcement of Laurie Enos, who will retire in June after 17 years as our Director of Student Services.
We’re excited to welcome Jennifer Gimmer into this role. Jennifer previously served as a school psychologist in our district for nearly four years before becoming Holmen’s Director of Safety and Student Services in 2023. She will officially begin on July 1, 2026.
Tyler Hougom, Director of Finance & Business Services
We also extend our thanks to Janet Rosseter, who is retiring after three years of outstanding leadership in managing the district’s budget. Her work has played an important role in maintaining our strong commitment to fiscal responsibility.
Stepping into the role is Tyler Hougom, an Onalaska native and 2008 OHS graduate. Tyler brings a range of financial leadership experience and a deep connection to our community. It’s always special to see our alumni return and make a lasting impact on our schools.
