Hello Port Gardner Families – Happy beginning of the school year!
I’m excited to work with the students, families and staff at Port Gardner this year to provide an enriching experience for all students. The unique relationships that Port Gardner provides as a bridge between the school and family is one that I hear about while talking with people all over the Everett School District – this school is held in high-regard.
I’m proud to serve as the principal of this program! I started my journey in education nearly 25 years ago as an English and math teacher at schools in Seoul, South Korea and Shanghai, China. I frequently think back on those years and the great experiences I had while living abroad. After returning to the Pacific Northwest (where I was raised), I began teaching math in public schools and 6 years ago became an administrator. I feel lucky to be able to call myself an educator – being a small part in developing and growing our students in pursuing their future.
I look forward to working with you, your student, and the amazing staff at Port Gardner!
Best,
Pachomius Schmidt
