Mason School District Teams with with the Boys & Girls Clubs
(December 2, 2025) Superintendent Tabatha Mires reflects on the collaboration that’s giving families new opportunities, strengthening community ties, and inspiring the next generation to learn, grow, and belong.
When Tabatha Mires accepted the role of Superintendent of the Manson School District, she brought with her a deep appreciation for small-town life and the way communities in North Central Washington look after their own. A lifelong resident of the region—born and raised in Waterville—Mires has spent her career working in rural education, where connection and collaboration are not just ideals but daily necessities.
Now in her third year leading Manson’s schools, she says one of the most rewarding aspects of her work has been witnessing how the Chelan Valley continually rallies around its children.
“Everywhere you look,” she says, “people are wrapping around kids and families. That’s the heartbeat of this valley.”
