School District announces employment changes
The Morrow County
School District has an-
nounced that they recent-
ly received the last-min-
ute resignation of David
Norton, former principal
of Riverside Jr/Sr High
School. Due to the timing
of this, Director of Human
Resources Erin Stocker
said that after much dis-
cussion and deliberation,
the district has moved for-
ward with the following
administrative shifts and
appointments for the 2022-
23 school year.
Riverside Jr/Sr High
school: John Christy, for-
mer Windy River Elemen-
tary principal, is transfer-
ring to be the new principal
and Steve Sheller remains
as vice principal. Christy
is a long-time employee of
MCSD and “has a strong
history with Riverside”.
“We are excited to see
the direction that RJSHS
goes under his leadership,”
Stocker said.
Windy River Elemen-
tary: Stephanie Ewing,
former A.C. Houghton
Elementary principal, is
transferring to be the new
principal. “Ewing’s back-
ground with elementary
programs and over ten
years of experience as
an elementary principal
will continue the strong
direction that Christy be-
gan with the Windy River
team.”
A.C. Houghton Elementa-
ry: Jill Ledbetter, former
Sam Boardman Elementa-

ry principal, is transferring
to be the new principal.
“Ledbetter has a strong
history with A.C. Hough-
ton and the community
of Irrigon. Mrs. Ledbetter
brings a wealth of experi-
ence at the elementary lev-
el in MCSD, and we know
she will continue the work
in instructional improve-
ment and student achieve-
ment,” Stocker said.
Sam Boardman Ele-
mentary: Jami Carbray,
former vice principal at
Sam Boardman, will be
promoted to principal and
Laura Browne Winters will
be assigned as the interim
vice principal. “Carbray
has worked side by side
with Ledbetter this year to
establish vision and action
for many, but over the
next week the administra-
tors will be reaching out
to their staffs to introduce
themselves and answer any
questions,” Combe said.
In a previous press
release, the district an-
nounced that Rose Palmer
was named the new prin-
cipal at Irrigon Jr/Sr High
School and Ryan Gerry
was named the new princi-
pal at Heppner Jr/Sr High
School. Principals at Hep-
pner Elementary and Ir-
rigon Elementary remain
unchanged.
The district will be led
by new Superintendent
Combe starting July 1.

steps, so Stocker said the
district is confident in her
ability to create that conti-
nuity. Winters has a strong
connection to SBE, as well
as a working knowledge
of the special programs at
SBE.” “We are excited to
have her return to the staff
of SBE to support the stu-
dents and families,” said
Stocker.
New district Superin-
tendent Matt Combe said
that “While these changes
are unexpected for Morrow
County School District,
administrators configured
the new team with the best
interests of students, staff
and families at heart.” “We
acknowledge this is quite a
bit of change in our schools
and may raise questions
