Nolan named new Redmond HS principal

Redmond School District Superintendent Mike McIntosh announced Friday that Redmond High School Assistant Principal Paul Nolan has been selected as the school’s new principal.

Nolan will fill the position currently held by Tony Pupo, who has accepted the position of director of support services for the district at the end of the school year.

McIntosh said he made the decision to appoint Nolan based on his demonstrated leadership skills and the strong relationships he has built to support students, families and fellow staff members.

Nolan has been with Redmond High as assistant principal for almost two years. Prior to joining the district in 2014, he served as a teacher for the Pendleton School District.

Nolan graduated cum laude with a bachelor’s degree from the University of Oregon. He received his master’s of education from the University of Oregon College of Education and his second master’s of education while completing work for his administrative license at the Lewis & Clark Graduate School of Education and Counseling.

“It’s a real honor for me to be a part of the Redmond High School team and to be given the opportunity to continue to support the good work that we have started together,” Nolan said. “The students and staff at RHS are a family and I look forward to all that we will accomplish, together, in the years to come.”

Nolan’s contract as principal will begin July 1.
