Enumclaw School District is taking an important next step for ESD Elementary #6 in the Ten Trails community, set to open in Fall 2027.
We invite families, staff, and community members to participate in the Planning Principal finalist interviews on April 2, 2026, from 5:00 to 6:15 PM at Black Diamond Elementary School.
The new elementary school will serve families in Ten Trails and surrounding areas as the district continues to plan for long-term growth.
What is a Planning Principal?
A Planning Principal plays a critical leadership role before a school opens. This leader is responsible for helping design the vision, culture, and educational program of the new school. They work closely with district leaders, staff, and the community to:
Develop the school’s identity and student/family experience
Support the hiring and onboarding of staff
Provide input on building design and learning spaces
Build strong relationships with families and community partners
Ensure a successful and smooth school opening
Serve as the school's principal
This position helps lay the foundation for a school that reflects the values and priorities of the community it serves.
Join the Process
Finalist interviews are open to the public, and community feedback is a valued part of the selection process. Attendees will have the opportunity to hear from candidates and share input that will help inform the district’s decision.
