Colfax school board selects Carrie Lipe for CHS post

Colfax School board has chosen a new high school principal. Carrie Lipe will be formally approved by the school board Monday, after a hiring process which began in March with the resignation of current principal Nathan Whittle.

Lipe comes to Colfax from her job with Spokane's District No. 81 as a teacher on special assignment, responsible for the science curriculum for grades 7-12. Previously, the Pullman High graduate taught science at West Valley High School in Spokane.

She earned her administrative credentials from WSU. This will be her first principal job.
