Hermiston School District has announced that Maria Durón will serve as family engagement specialist.
She recently served the district as its communication officer and community relations specialist. Her focus will be to strengthen the district’s relationship with its Hispanic families.
“This pandemic has brought a new light to areas that the district needs to strengthen. Now more than ever, the district wants to better communicate and engage our Hispanic families” said Superintendent of Schools Dr. Tricia Mooney. “Maria has built strong bonds with community members over the last couple of years. We are excited to expand that connection with our Hispanic population.”
Communications responsibilities will shift to Briana Cortaberria, who served as a communications officer prior to Durón’s employment with the district. Cortaberria and Durón will partner with Graphics & Media Producer Roger Pope to form the district’s communications team.
