We would like to introduce our new K-12 music/band teacher, Darla Mead. Darla reports that she is a “country girl at heart.” She was raised on five acres outside of Eagle Point, Oregon, where summers included moving irrigation lines, tending to the garden, and canning jellies and relishes for the winter. Music has always been a big part of her life, and this passion led her to pursue a degree in Secondary Education from Southern Oregon University with a teaching certificate in K-12 Music. She later earned a Master’s Degree in Curriculum and Instruction with an emphasis on Integrated Teaching Through the Arts from Lesley University. Darla also possesses teaching endorsements in English-Language Arts, History, and Special Education. She has enjoyed teaching in California, Oregon, and Washington–with each position spanning multiple grade levels and subject areas. For the past 20 years she has served as the K-12 music/band teacher in the Wahkiakum School District where she has directed strong performance and pep bands. Outside of the classroom, Darla loves playing and listening to music, spending time with her family and her dogs, reading a good book, gardening, traveling (cruises are her favorite) and exploring historical places. This summer, she is learning to play the kantele. Darla says that she is thrilled to begin this new chapter of her life in the Naselle-Grays River Valley School District, where she will be teaching K-12 music & band and a 6th grade enrichment class. Darla believes that every student is important, and that music gives students a chance to build confidence, learn perseverance and teamwork, and discover the joy of creating something together. There are no “faces in the crowd” in her classroom, and she can't wait to meet her students, get to know their families, and become part of this wonderful community. Welcome aboard, Darla. We are so thankful that you are joining our team!

We would like to introduce you to our new middle school math and high school Spanish teacher. Victoria (Corona) Konigsberger graduated from Naselle-Grays River Valley High School in 2013 before earning a Bachelor’s Degree at Washington State University in Pullman. After completing her bachelor’s degree, Miss Vicki served as a student interventionist, family resource coordinator, and long term sub in the Naselle-GRV School District. During this time, she also completed a Master’s Degree in Education from Western Governors' University. Last year, she served as the 4th grade teacher at Pacific Ridge Elementary in Seaside. Next year, she will teach 6th, 7th, and 8th grade math, Spanish I and II, and 6th grade STEM/AVID. Miss Vicki enjoys spending time with her family and friends, traveling, attending concerts and Mariners’ games, and coaching Naselle-GRV cheerleaders. She is passionate about creating an engaging classroom where every student feels safe, supported, and encouraged. She was inspired to become a teacher by some of her former teachers who made learning fun and meaningful for her, and she hopes to create the same positive learning experience for her own students. Miss Vicki makes her home in Naselle with her husband, Matt, and their daughter, Zariah. They are eagerly awaiting the arrival of a baby boy in September. She is excited to be back in Naselle to teach…even more so following her maternity leave. We are very excited to welcome Miss Vicki back to our school!

We would like to introduce our new high school math and business teacher, Jeramie Hill. Mr. Hill graduated from the University of Washington-Tacoma in 2011 with a Bachelor's Degree in Politics, Philosophy, and Economics, and a minor in Business Administration. He worked at Amazon from 2014 to 2024, starting as a Content Test Specialist and working his way up to Senior Technical Program Manager. During this time, he served in a leadership role and launched multiple new programs and apps. These past two years, he has been completing his Master's Degree in Education with a Mathematics endorsement, while subbing as a paraeducator and teacher in the Naselle-GRV and Wahkiakum School Districts. Mr. Hill was born and raised in Tacoma and moved to Naselle two years ago with his wife, Shelby (Naselle graduate), and their two daughters, Bethany and Phoebe. Shelby is an elementary teacher in Warrenton, and is the daughter of Dave and Kristi Leeland. When they are both not teaching, Mr. and Mrs. Hill enjoy golfing and exploring the coast with their girls. Mr. Hill's highest priority as a teacher is to make math accessible and enjoyable for ALL students. We are very thankful to add him to our team. Welcome aboard, Jeramie!

Budget Planning Update: Looking Ahead to the 2026–2027 School Year

The Naselle-Grays River Valley School District is currently developing the 2026–2027 budget using projected student enrollment, which directly affects state funding.

The district finished the 2025–2026 school year with 301 FTE students and is budgeting for 260 FTE students next year, a projected decline of 41 FTE.

Key factors include:

31 graduates from the Class of 2026
8 kindergarten students currently enrolled, with additional enrollments hoped for
34 students expressing interest in Running Start, resulting in a projected loss of approximately 17 FTE

This enrollment decline will reduce the funding available for district programs, staffing, and services. Our goal remains to make thoughtful, responsible decisions that support student success.

Please join us for the Board Budget Meeting on Tuesday, July 21, at 5:00 p.m. in the district library.
