Big congratulations to Tobey Huddleston! 🎉

Tobey, Principal of Aiken Elementary in Ontario School District 8C , has been named the 2026 Oregon Elementary Principal of the Year—and it’s easy to see why. From building strong relationships with students and families to leading with purpose and heart, her impact is felt every single day.

We’re especially proud to celebrate an incredible leader from Eastern Oregon who continues to make a difference across our state.

Way to go, Tobey!

The Silent Auction is back at Seaside—and it’s one of our favorite traditions.

This year, every bid supports something bigger. Proceeds will fund Oregon Strong student scholarships, helping students share what’s right in their schools and communities.

Exhibitors—start thinking about your gift basket.
Attendees—come ready to browse, bid, and take something fun home.

Let’s have a little fun and make a real impact together.

The best conversations often happen before the conference officially begins.

This is where you step back, refocus, and start the week with clarity.

If you’re coming to Seaside, don’t skip this part.

Pre Conferences Begin June 16th

Author Olivia Abtahi stayed after her keynote to sign copies of The Interpreter—her award-winning children’s book inspired by the experience many multilingual students know well: serving as the interpreter for their families while navigating school and community.

We also had the joy of surprising Olga Acuña with this year’s Lau Leadership Award, honoring the legacy of Lau v. Nichols and her extraordinary leadership in Hillsboro. With her family and team by her side, the moment reflected the impact she has had elevating multilingual leaders, students, and community.

Stories. Leadership. Legacy.
A meaningful final day celebrating the power of multilingual voices.

COSA is honored to recognize Dr. Olga Acuña as the recipient of the 2026 Lau Leadership Impact Award.

Throughout her career in the Hillsboro School District , Dr. Acuña has worked to strengthen programs, elevate family voice, and ensure multilingual students feel seen, valued, and supported. Thank you, Dr. Acuña, for your leadership and lasting impact on Oregon’s students and communities.

Join us in congratulating Dr. Acuña!
