Erica McColl
Help is on the way.
Coupeville High School/Middle School Principal Geoff Kappes will have key support crew in place again, with the news that Erica McColl is being hired as Assistant Principal.
McColl, who currently holds that position at Anacortes Middle School, replaces Leonard Edlund, who resigned after a medical leave of absence.
The new hire will be official after the school board approves it at its next meeting.
McColl has worked in Anacortes since 2022.
Before that, she was an assistant principal in the Marysville School District and the Multi-tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) Manager with the Edmonds School District.
McColl, who holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s in counseling, began her career in California.
Kappes issued a statement Monday heralding the new hire:
I am thrilled to share the exciting news that I am recommending Erica McColl to the Board of Directors to fill the position of Assistant Principal at Coupeville Middle and High School.
Erica brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to this role, making her an outstanding addition to our team.
With a strong background in school counseling, trauma-informed practices, Multi-Tiered System of Supports, and instructional leadership, Erica has demonstrated a deep commitment to fostering a supportive and effective learning environment for all students.
Her expertise will be invaluable as we continue to enhance our educational programs and support systems for our students.
The interview team believes that Erica’s skills and experiences will greatly benefit our school community and we are confident that she will make a significant positive impact in her new role.
Erica met with Superintendent (Shannon) Leatherwood and me Friday morning and we both agreed that she is a great fit for CMHS.
Please join me in welcoming Erica McColl to CMHS. We look forward to the board’s approval and to the many contributions she will make to our school.
