💙 A Thank You and a Warm Welcome 💙
We want to share an important update with our school community. Our SRO, Officer Jake McGarvey, will be leaving his role as School Resource Officer after being promoted to Sergeant with the Sutherlin Police Department. This is an exciting and well-deserved next step for him, and we could not be prouder.
Officer McGarvey has been deeply loved by our students and staff. He could always be found building relationships, offering support, and being a steady, friendly presence in our schools. We are grateful for his calm guidance during difficult moments, his wisdom in supporting students and families, and his playful sense of humor that made our buildings feel more welcoming. He will truly be missed—though we suspect our break room snacks might start lasting a little longer. 😉
At the same time, we are excited to welcome Officer Seth Fox as our new School Resource Officer, starting Monday. Officer Fox has served with the Sutherlin Police Department for seven years, holds an advanced police certification, and is a trained forensic interviewer. He lives and works in Sutherlin, has children in our district, and is committed to our community. When he’s not working, he enjoys video games, Dungeons & Dragons, fantasy books, and is even training for the Tri-Cities 70.3 Ironman Triathlon!
Please join us in congratulating Sergeant McGarvey and welcoming Officer Fox.
