East Valley School District is located in Yakima County, Washington, just east of the City of Yakima. It encompasses the City of Moxee and portions of the unincorporated county, including the Terrace Heights community. The resident population of the East Valley School District is over 17,000. Our community has continued to experience significant growth in residential, educational (Pacific Northwest University), business, and industry over the past 10 years.
East Valley is primarily rural, situated in a valley surrounded by agriculture. Known as the hop production capital of the state and home to bountiful crops and vineyards, agri-tourism thrives. With abundant outdoor activities (hiking, biking, camping, skiing, and more) less than an hour away and four full seasons, East Valley’s central location makes it an ideal place to call home.
Principal's Message
Dear Terrace Heights Families,
As we begin another school year together, I want to share how grateful I am for the opportunity to continue serving the Terrace Heights community as your principal. While my title has changed, my commitment to this school has not. For the past four years, I have had the privilege of building relationships with our students, families, and staff, learning alongside you, celebrating successes, and working through challenges together.
I come to Terrace Heights with a deep belief that every child can learn, grow, and achieve at high levels when surrounded by caring adults, engaging instruction, and a supportive community. With over 20 years in education as a teacher, instructional coach, and school leader, I bring a passion for helping students discover their potential and for empowering staff and students to do their very best work every day.
Here's to a year of growth, connection, and incredible learning.
It's a great day to be a Terrace Heights Black Bear!
With gratitude,
Marla Green
Principal
Terrace Heights Elementary
