Principal's
Message

  • Dear Alliance High School Community,

     

    I am honored and excited to introduce myself as the interim principal at Alliance High School. I am thrilled to be joining the dedicated staff and students of this unique learning community for the remainder of this school year and look forward to supporting the good work that is already going on in this beautiful new building.

     

    My name is Mike Rowell, and I have worked as a teacher and administrator with èßäapp¹ÙÍø for the past 33 years. I retired from èßäapp¹ÙÍø as the principal at Lane Middle School, and have since supported a number of schools as an interim or substitute administrator, including Metropolitan Learning Center, Ockley Green Middle School and Roosevelt High School.


    I am passionate about ensuring that all students, especially those who identify as members of historically underserved communities, receive the educational service, respect and sense of inclusion that they need and deserve to thrive and meet their personal goals. I firmly believe that open communication and collaboration are essential to student success, and I encourage parents and guardians to both actively engage in their student’s education and be in touch with the school on a regular basis. I will begin sending a regular community newsletter starting next week in order to keep you up to date on the activities and opportunities happening at Alliance. Please feel free to contact me if you have questions, concerns, or just want to introduce yourself. You can reach me via email at mrowell@pps.net and in the main office at (503) 916-6486.

     

     

     

    Students at Alliance REP our community:

    Our Students are Respectful, Engaged, and Present above all else.

  • To Close or Not to Close? The Many Factors that Go into an Inclement Weather Decision

    In meteorological terms, èßäapp¹ÙÍø’s first big weather event of 2024 was the definition of a perfect storm. Frigid temperatures and high winds combined with snow and ice to bring down tree limbs, close roads, scramble traffic, freeze pipes, and knock out power for tens of thousands of residents.

    It was a metaphorical perfect storm for èßäapp¹ÙÍø as well. Fallen trees cut power to multiple schools and others have suffered water damage from broken pipes. Lack of heat was also a problem, and impassable roads, paired with snowed-in and icy parking lots, made it impossible for buses to run safely. Those same conditions limited how the district’s facilities and operations teams can even assess the scope of the issues, let alone begin working on solutions. And icy sidewalks meant walkers have no safe route to school.

    This week could bring similar conditions to the èßäapp¹ÙÍø area, and èßäapp¹ÙÍø’s School Closure Team is ready to meet the challenge. The team convenes regularly during inclement weather to take all of the above into careful consideration. By now, families are quite familiar with how the district communicates these decisions. What’s perhaps less known is how district leaders arrive at such decisions in the first place. 

  • Free Screening of "Champions" as Part of Our Series Boosting Belonging, Equity, and Inclusion

    As part of our district's focus on events that center belonging, equity, and inclusion, we have been screening a series of films that we hope will challenge our perceptions about what is possible in the systems we create for our children with disabilities.

    The next film in the series is “Champions,” which will screen on Saturday February 8th at 2:00 PM at Lincoln High School. This event will also include first-hand testimonials from èßäapp¹ÙÍø students.

    This movie highlights the journey of a basketball coach who leads a team of players with intellectual disabilities. Through humor and heartfelt moments, the movie emphasizes the strengths, individuality, and value each player brings to the team and how inclusion enriches communities and creates positive, supportive environments.

    Staff, families, and community members are all invited. Parking is free and light refreshment will be provided. We hope to see you there!

     

  • Two èßäapp¹ÙÍø Educators Receive Presidential Honor

    We’re thrilled to announce that two èßäapp¹ÙÍø teachers were recently awarded the prestigious Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching (PAEMST). 

    Krishnan Ranjani,  a teacher of advanced mathematics and Career and Technical Education (CTE) computer systems at Lincoln High School and Nick Nohner, a computer sciences and data sciences teacher at Ida B. Wells High School, were both selected for the honor which is administered by the National Science Foundation (NSF) on behalf of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. The award recognizes outstanding educators for their contributions to the teaching and learning of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

    Each awardee will receive a certificate signed by President Joe Biden and a $10,000 award from NSF. Awardees will also travel to Washington, D.C., for an awards ceremony at a future date. 

    Congratulations to these two exceptional teachers!
