WALLA WALLA – Walla Walla Public Schools announces Bailey Hayes has been named principal of Green Park Elementary following an extensive and inclusive hiring process that engaged staff, district leaders, school board members, parents and community representatives. 

The principal selection process included a screening and interview team composed of school district stakeholders. In addition, families, community members, students, and faculty participated in meet-and-greet sessions and provided valuable feedback to help inform the final decision.

The district will begin a search for an assistant principal at Green Park Elementary, a position made vacant by Hayes’ promotion.

 

“I am deeply honored and grateful for the opportunity to serve as principal of Green Park Elementary,” said Bailey Hayes. “This school community is something truly special. I’m thankful for the trust placed in me, and I look forward to building on the strong relationships, traditions, and commitment to student success that make Green Park such an incredible place for students, staff and families.”

 

Hayes currently serves as assistant principal at Green Park Elementary, where she supports both English and Spanish dual-language classrooms, oversees the REACH special education program, leads the school’s Social Emotional Learning (SEL) team, and co-leads the teacher leadership team. Previously, she served as assistant principal at Prospect Point and Edison Elementary schools, supporting both dual-language and traditional programs. In those roles, Hayes led building-level student support teams and co-led the district’s Social Emotional Learning initiatives. She also brings seven years of classroom teaching experience, including time at Prospect Point and Blue Ridge Elementary schools.

 

“Bailey Hayes emerged from a strong and competitive candidate pool through a thoughtful and thorough hiring process that reflected the voices of our entire Green Park community,” said Superintendent Dr. Ben Gauyan. “Her instructional leadership, deep commitment to students and ability to build meaningful relationships make her the right choice to lead Green Park Elementary. We are confident she will continue to foster a culture where every student feels supported, valued and inspired to succeed.”

 

Hayes will begin serving in her new role at Green Park Elementary on July 1, 2026.
