Administration

Principal Kevin Hertel

Kevin Hertel began his educational career in Medford, where he worked as an educational resource teacher at both the middle and high school levels. In 2013, he joined the Hillsboro School District as a special education coordinator at Hilhi. After five years in that position, he became an instructional coach at the school, working with administration to plan and deliver professional development to all staff, and helping individual teachers improve their instructional practices to enhance student outcomes. In the 2018-19 school year, he worked as a teacher on special assignment (TOSA) as both an Autism/support specialist and dean of students, supporting 9th graders. Hertel’s instructional leadership improves outcomes for students who experience disabilities, students who are English learners, and students who struggle in math. He transitioned to his current position in West Linn in 2019.

Assistant Principal Matt Nova

Matt has worked for the District since 2005 when he was a special education teacher in self-contained classrooms at Imlay and Lenox Elementary Schools. In 2007, Matt moved to Evergreen and served as the Life Skills coordinator for seven years. In the 2014-15 school year, Matt moved to the District Office and was a support specialist in the Student Services department, working with school-level teams to increase inclusion opportunities and access to the general curriculum for special needs students. He has been a coordinator in the department for the past four years. Matt looks forward to the opportunity to return to Evergreen and serve in a role where he will interact with and support all students, staff, and families.
