As Pendleton School District prepares for the 2026–27 school year, the district is announcing several leadership appointments and organizational updates that reflect its continued commitment to supporting students, strengthening schools, and providing stability during a period of transition.

Over the past several months, a few members of the district’s leadership team have embarked on new professional chapters. Principal Pat Dutcher has returned to the Salem School District, his alma mater; Director of Human Resources Kevin Dinning has accepted the Superintendent position with the Culver School District; and Director of Special Programs Julie Smith has retired after a distinguished career in education. The district extends its sincere appreciation to each of these leaders for their service and wishes them continued success.

While leadership changes are a natural part of any organization, they also provide an opportunity to thoughtfully examine how district resources and leadership structures can best support schools. The appointments announced today are designed to provide continuity for students and staff while strengthening instructional leadership and districtwide support.
