For nearly two decades, Tony has worked as a public school leader, serving schools and communities ranging from rural America to the suburbs, from Oregon’s Wine Country to the diverse communities of East Multnomah County.

Early in his school leadership career, while serving as principal, Tony led a diverse middle school community to receive the rating of “Outstanding” on the Oregon School Report Card. For the last five years he has worked as the Superintendent of Schools for the Molalla River School District, a K-12 district located in Clackamas County. Across his career, Tony has led schools and school systems to excellence. Tony believes one of the key attributes of successful schools is the recognition that students are individuals, each one of them with specific strengths and individual needs.

As co-founder of the Oregon Recovery High School Initiative, Tony believes there are educational solutions specific to the needs of young people experiencing addiction. Research-supported, evidence-based school design focused on recovery from substance use disorders is the keystone. Such a school is capable of providing adolescents in recovery with a robust framework of support, energizing long-term recovery and delivering on the promises all young people deserve. It is in this kind of school that students can build a vision of hope for themselves and develop the aspiration, mindset and skills that allows them to achieve exceptional things for themselves and their communities.

Tony believes recovery high schools are a missing piece of Oregon’s promise to itself and its people. Without such a school, evidence suggests we will continue to criminalize and incarcerate some of our state’s brightest minds for what is, in the end, a healthcare crisis like none our state or country has ever seen.

Tony is a member of the Confederation of Oregon School Administrators (COSA), the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development (ASCD), and the American Association of School Administrators (AASA). He has presented to audiences large and small on instructional practices, leadership strategies in schools and organizational design, all for the singular purpose of producing measurable results for students.

Tony holds a Bachelor Degree in English from Oregon State University and a Masters Degree from Lewis and Clark College. Tony has experienced the promises of recovery and witnessed both the successes and tragedies taking place every day in our society for young people suffering from addiction. His hope for the future is rooted in the successful launch of Oregon’s first gold-standard recovery high school.

Allison believes the only way to enter a swimming pool is to do a cannonball.  So when her career in corporate marketing was relocated to Asia, she immediately jumped, cannonball style, into her passion of serving others.  Allison is the owner of Etta’s Angels, a personal services company supporting the vulnerable population of aging seniors in our community.  Inspired by her 102 year-old grandmother “Etta”, Allison jumped at the chance to support and learn from this amazing population of people.  “Every single person has unique gifts, unique perspectives and there is so much to learn from our seniors.  I am incredibly grateful to have this opportunity at this time in my life.”

Allison is also drawn to the work of Oregon Recovery High School Initiative.  As a mother of two, she has witnessed first hand the trials, and tribulations of her own children as they navigate their teenage years.  “ My best parenting moments are those celebrating with my children after watching them struggle with or through something difficult.  So many of Oregon’s youth struggle with substance use disorder and Oregon ranks near the bottom of states that offer substance use treatment options for adolescents.  Knowing every child deserves a bright future, a great education and the necessary support to fully realize their own unique gifts, she jumped at the opportunity to support the mission of Oregon Recovery High School Initiative and Oregon’s 1^st Recovery High School- Harmony Academy.

Before starting her own company, Allison served as a Director of Corporate and Marketing Strategy for AT&T Wireless Services, and Vice President of Marketing for VTech Communications.

Allison holds a Bachelors degree in Psychology and is proud to call Oregon her life long home.
