Second Generation Employee

For all who enter, Erin's beautiful smile greets them as they walk into the Corbett Middle School and Administrative Building. Erin was born in Portland and moved to Corbett at the tender age of 3, moving into a home on NE 365th. Currently a Corbett Grade School teacher lives in her childhood home. Erin attended Corbett Schools from K-12 along with her one sibling, an older sister. Graduating in 1990, Erin went on to Mt. Hood Community College. She also worked at Jean Machine, but then left both school and the clothing store to work full time at US Bank for seven years. Meeting her husband Jeff at age 17, they married in 1996. Goofing around as teenagers, he jumped into her car and introduced himself. The rest is history! When Erin gave birth to their one daughter Courtney, age 16, she stayed home full-time. It was not until Courtney was in the 4th grade that she began to work again outside of the home. It all began as being a substitute, working in the office, on the playground and in the school kitchen. In 2013, Erin was hired as the secretary of the Corbett Middle and High School. She is kept plenty busy with answering phones, registration, record keeping, mailing out progress reports, preparing for substitute teachers, working on student files, ordering graduation items for seniors, delivering notes, passing out ice and band-aids and also building relationships with students. Erin's mother Jan worked at the school for many years, also working in the front office. Corbett is now a closed campus, and Erin tries her best to keep track of all the comings and goings of students. She laughingly says that she and her family sleep in Gresham, but she lives in Corbett! :) Her goal is to one day move back to the community that she has always loved and appreciated so much. When she is not managing 700 plus students, she focuses on supporting her daughter Courtney's many activities which include horses and volleyball. On the rare occassion of having nothing on the calendar, she says she loves to snuggle on the couch with a good book!
