LA GRANDE — La Grande School District officials did not have to look far to find Central Elementary’s next principal. The school district has named Monica West, central’s assistant principal, to lead the school starting July 1. “I am very excited about getting to work with Central’s parents and staff,” she said. West will succeed Suzy Mayes, who will retire at the end of June after serving as the school’s principal since the fall of 2014. West is completing her second year at Central as assistant principal. West joined the LGSD after working for the Olympia School District in Washington for 25 years. She served as a teacher, instructional coach, middle school assistant principal and elementary school principal during her tenure in Olympia.
