When Lorence assumed leadership of Umatilla High School in 2016, the school was known as student-cen- tered, but also had poor academic performance, in particular a grad- uation rate consistently below the state average. By using data effectively to monitor students, meeting with them individually and embracing wraparound and outside resources to provide a support system, Lor- ence improved the graduation rate to 82 percent, five points above the state average, said a press release from IMESD. This is the first time the district has exceeded the state average in each student group. “Bob Lorence deserves to be recognized for his dedication and hard work in Umatilla. He is pas- sionate about student success and courageous and relentless in his decision making,” Mulvihill said.
