EDGE Staff

Hello, my name is Christine Bowlby and I am the new Co-Principal for the EDGE Program. I have worked in Salem Keizer for more than 19 years of experience,  most recently serving as principal at Keizer Elementary. I started with SKPS in 2001 as a kindergarten and first-grade teacher at Fruitland Elementary before transitioning to Swegle Elementary where I taught fourth-grade before becoming an instructional coach at the school.

While teaching, I earned a master’s degree in education with endorsements in both reading and ESOL. In 2012, I accepted my first principal assignment at Washington Elementary where I had the privilege of serving for five years before moving to Keizer Elementary in 2017.

I am very excited to embark on this new adventure and looks forward to working with and supporting students and families as they pursue this educational opportunity.
