Principal Jen Sehlin

Meet Principal Jennifer Sehlin!

Hi, Coyote families! One of the best parts of being a principal is building relationships with staff, students and families. A few fun facts about me: I love Country music, and if I could only eat one type of food for the rest of my life, it would be burritos or tacos. My bucket list includes travel overseas. Did you know that I have spent the bulk of my educational career at Cascade Ridge? First as a teacher, then dean and now as your principal.
