Newberg-Dundee Public Schools is pleased to welcome Jessica Renhard as the new Principal of Mountain View Middle School, effective for the 2026–2027 school year.
Renhard joins Newberg-Dundee Public Schools with more than 15 years of educational experience, including leadership roles focused on instructional excellence, student achievement, school culture, and systems of support. She currently serves as Associate Principal at Tigard High School, where she leads schoolwide efforts in Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS), attendance, student behavior, professional learning, teacher supervision and evaluation, and school improvement planning.
Prior to her current role, Renhard served as Dean of Students at Tualatin High School, where she helped strengthen student support systems, developed restorative behavior processes, and led initiatives focused on student engagement and success. Her career also includes ten years as a middle and high school mathematics teacher, department coordinator, and instructional leader, giving her a deep understanding of both classroom instruction and educational leadership.
"Jessica is an outstanding educator whose leadership is grounded in relationships, collaboration, and a steadfast commitment to students," said Superintendent Dave Parker. "Throughout her career, she has demonstrated the ability to build strong teams, support high-quality instruction, and create systems that help every student thrive. We are excited to welcome Jessica to Newberg-Dundee Public Schools and know she will be an exceptional leader for the Mountain View Middle School community."
Renhard and her family have proudly called Newberg home for the past 11 years. She has been married to her husband for 18 years and they have two children attending school in our district. In her free time, Jessica enjoys cheering on her kids in their many activities, spending time outdoors, reading, attending sporting events, or escaping to a sunny beach (especially if it includes the opportunity to scuba dive).
Renhard expressed her enthusiasm for joining the district and partnering with students, staff, and families.
"I believe we have a truly exciting opportunity to build on the great work already happening at Mountain View Middle School. I am honored and excited to serve a community that has invested so much in my own children and look forward to partnering with students, staff, and families to continue growing together."
Renhard's experience leading instructional improvement, implementing student support systems, and fostering positive school culture aligns closely with the district's commitment to ensuring every student is known, valued, and prepared for future success.
