CAMAS — Cathy Sork, principal at Dorothy Fox Elementary School in Camas, was named the 2024 Washington State Elementary Principal of the Year. Sork will also be recognized nationally by the National Association of Elementary School Principals.
Sork has been principal for 17 years at Dorothy Fox, with 24 years in educational leadership. She said one of the best parts of her job is “to have relationships with students and help them to grow, laugh, stretch, and move toward a bright future.”
Her colleague Kristie Wall said Sork “embodies the best of our profession, modeling student-first leadership.”
Next fall, Sork will be honored in Washington, D.C., as part of the National Distinguished Principal of the Year program, sponsored by National Association of Elementary School Principals in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Education. All state winners participate in a series of events and activities over the course of two days, culminating in a formal awards banquet.
