Administration

Emily Whitten

I am thrilled to be joining this thoughtful and engaging learning community, and I wanted to share a little bit about myself both professionally and personally, so you could get to know my story. I look forward to hearing your family’s story.

My professional journey began at Seattle Pacific University, student teaching in south Seattle and teaching in Guatemala City for a summer. I taught in the Bellevue School District for nine years, at Chinook Middle School for one year and then for eight years at Spiritridge Elementary School, where we housed the district gifted program. After returning to SPU for my Masters' of Educational Leadership and Principal Certification, I served as Assistant Principal of Woodridge Elementary for three years and Ardmore Elementary for four years. Over the past two years I’ve been the Principal of Kellogg Marsh Elementary School in the Marysville School District. My work has always been about bringing communities together and partnering for the success of each and every student. I believe that together we are stronger, and our students benefit. I’ve already found so much joy in my transition to NSD and the Moorlands community.

Personally, I live in Monroe with my husband and my two sons. When I am not working, I love reading, music, enjoying the outdoors with my boys, taking walks with friends, and visiting my extended family in Kirkland. I am a diehard Seahawks fan, but I grew up in Chicago, so I also love the Cubs. 

I look forward to learning about all of the things that make Moorlands a special place for learning and look forward to growing together in the coming months! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns at: ewhitten@nsd.org. I look forward to working alongside you and growing as a community!

Hello Mustang Community!

I’m excited to be serving as Assistant Principal this year at Moorlands. This is my 11th year in the Northshore School District. Most of that time has been as a school psychologist, but I’ve also worked as a Dean at Westhill Elementary and as an Assistant Principal at Woodmoor Elementary. I live in Ballard with my wife and son. In addition to being a grieving Sonics fan, I love visiting national parks, playing Catan and other board games, and reading fiction.  I’ll be at Moorlands on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, but if I’m not here, please still reach out via email (bcordingly@nsd.org) or phone (425) 408-5113.
