Ray Lorton
Superintendent

Welcome to the Chief Leschi Schools website. Thank you for taking the time to browse our website, I hope you find it informational. At Chief Leschi we take pride in being a positive educational influence to the students and community members that we serve.  I am proud to be able to team with a great staff and student population here at Chief Leschi Schools.  Our dedicated staff looks forward to working with you.  You will find them friendly, courteous and willing to help at anytime.  Over the past few years we have had an opportunity to make great strides in academics while maintaining a positive cultural influence throughout our school.  Learning and understanding our cultural heritage is vitally important to the success of our student’s educational process.  As you browse our website you will see and get a sense of the value we place on Native Culture, from the actual building design to the school emblem and program offerings. 

At Chief Leschi School’s our primary mission is to engage students in learning that stimulates the “whole child”, touching their hearts and minds.  We are keenly aware of the unique strengths and abilities, learning styles, and emotional needs of every individual child placed in our care, and we strive to create learning opportunities that optimize each child’s potential.

We believe students learn best when the entire learning community works together and establishes a strong and meaningful partnership.  We value your input and welcome your support and involvement.

Sincerely,

Ray Lorton
Superintendent of Schools
