As you may have heard, Dr. Eckenroth will be joining the middle school team this school year. While we are excited for this new school year, we would love to send him off with our appreciation and well wishes.

During his time at Pleasant Gap, even though it was short, Dr. Eckenroth made a meaningful and lasting impact on our students, staff, and families. We are incredibly grateful for his dedication and leadership.

We are collecting notes, messages, and words of appreciation to compile into a special card that will be given to Dr. Eckenroth on his first day at the middle school. Whether it’s from parents, students, or your entire family, we encourage you to share your message below.
