Michelle Pellitier- Communications Secretary

Michelle Pellitier

Michelle is a native Eugenean and graduated from SEHS. Her son, Peter graduated from SEHS last year and her daughter, Natalie, is a sophomore.

Michelle has edited the SEHS eNews since 2008 and was elected Communications Secretary, a Parent Council Steering Committee office, when the position was created in the revised by-laws in 2010. She plans to, in her words, “invade your mail box every Monday night until 2013.” 

Kathy Barnes-Treasurer

Kathy has had three students graduate from the South Eugene French Immersion program. Her youngest student is a Junior.  I love volunteering at the high school and find teen-age energy exciting and entertaining.

She graduated from BYU in Finance.  For the past 25 years she has been a stay-at-home mom.  During that time, she has done a variety of things including teach piano and sing with the Eugene Symphony Chorus. Lately she has spendt a lot of time knitting things for her new grandson. 

Kathy was elected as the PC Treasurer for this school year and will continue in that role in 2011-2012 if re-elected. Parent Council is so lucky to have such a great treasurer!
