School Board Members

Emily McIntire - Board Chair

Term Expires 6/30/2029

Why did you join the school board?
I joined the school board because I have a heart for the kids in our community, our community, and the future generations to come.

What should the community know about you? 
I hope this community knows how sincere my heart is toward them and their children. My goal is to bring the best possible education to our children in the safest and most secure way possible. That I desire for each and every child and young adult that comes through our school would know their own value and worth and would stop at nothing to reach their goals. Children don’t choose the life they are born into and it’s up to us (adults) to help them navigate through difficult situations to give them their best chance. Every child is worth it! 

Chery Stritenberg - Board Vice-Chair

Term Expires 6/30/2027

Why did you join the school board?
In 2017 my son started Kindergarten at Shady Cove School.  The more involved I was, the more I admired the passion and commitment of our staff at my son's school and across our district for our students.  I started regularly attending board meetings in 2018 and I have seen a lot of changes throughout the last few years.  I was a voice prior to becoming a Board Member and when the opportunity arose to be part of the board, I believed it was time for me to be part of the change I was hoping to see.  I have been impressed with the communication and the well-thought-out decisions of our new Superintendent.  I believe the current Board and the Superintendent are a balanced team with our students' best interests at heart.  Even though at times there are circumstances beyond our control we are building communication and trust with staff, parents, students, and our community. 

What should the community know about you?
I truly support our local communities and believe that together we can accomplish great things.  I have volunteered within the Shady Cove community with the Jackson County Fire District 4, Friends of the Library, and Upper Rogue Community Center, and am the current President of the Shady Cove PTO but recently I have turned my focus to our school district.  I want people to know that I am approachable and would love to hear from them.  I believe in strong communication and open discussions involving things that are and aren't working.  I believe together we can come up with solutions that will turn our district into a district others aspire to be.

Randy Wolf - Board Director

Term Expires 6/30/2029

Why did you join the board?
I joined the Eagle Point school board to support our community,  to help improve our district and the success of our children. 

What should the community know about you? 
I'm an individual that looks for the best outcome that will support all involved in making our district and community a better place for all. 

Justin Richardson - Board Director

Term expires 6/30/2027

Why did I join the school board?
I joined the school board because I care deeply about the students and families in our community and wanted to contribute in a more meaningful way. Having been involved in the district for several years, I’ve seen firsthand the impact our schools have, and I want to help support decisions that create positive opportunities for our students now and into the future.

What should the community know about you? 
I’m a longtime member of the Upper Rogue community, having grown up locally and returned here with my wife to raise our family. Our three children are connected to the district, including twin daughters at Eagle Point High School, so I understand the importance of strong schools from both a personal and community perspective. My background in construction, along with my experience supporting a local small business, has given me a practical outlook, and I’m committed to listening, learning, and serving in a way that reflects the needs of our community.
 

Josh Graves - Board Director

Expires 6/30/2029

Why did I join the school board?
To be honest, I wanted to make sure every kid in the district had someone sticking up for them. Then I realized once I was on the board the entire district needed a team of people (The board) to support them and help make critical decisions on board policy, curriculum, and hold our superintendent accountable. 

What should the community know about you?
They should know that even when the decision is difficult I will do my best to gather all the facts, listen, and make the best objective decision I can based on the knowledge I have available to me.
