Hermiston: Grigg named administrator of the year by board of education

Sunset Elementary School Principal Devin Grigg has been selected as the 2015-16 Hermiston School District Administrator of the Year by the Board of Education.

Grigg has more than two decades of experience in education, beginning his career in 2001 as a sixth-grade teacher for the Milton-Freewater School District. He was hired by the Hermiston School District in 2005 as the assistant principal for Sandstone Middle School. In 2007, he moved to Armand Larive Middle School to serve as assistant principal, and in 2009 he started his post as Sunset Elementary principal.

Grigg and his wife, Robyn, live in Hermiston with their five children: Skyler, Koby, Trey, Kira and Brooke.

Each year, HSD also recognizes its outstanding teaching staff with the Educator of the Year Award. The award is given annually to one educator from each of the elementary and middle schools, two educators from Hermiston High School, and one district-level educator. School staff members nominate coworkers from their respective schools for the honor. Nominees must have worked in the district for at least five years. The award is considered a “career-level” award.

This year’s recipients are: Melody Bustillos, Hermiston High; Mary Robinson, Hermiston High; Ashlie Stanley, Armand Larive Middle School; Lisa McElroy, Sandstone Middle School; Dia Bernabe, Desert View Elementary; Deanna Plum, Highland Hills Elementary School; Jessica Campbell, Rocky Heights Elementary; Robbie Storagee, Sunset Elementary; Stacy Schaefer, West Park Elementary.
