PINKY PAGANO

Pinky Pagano (Special Contributor). Treasured Advisor - The Woman of Many

Hats. Pinky worked in various front office capacities with the Sisters School

District from 1988 until her retirement in 2014. During her more than 25 years,

Pinky guided, inspired, cajoled, captivated, energized, and motivated thousands of

students, teachers, athletic directors, principals, vice-principals, and coaches. She

was a necessary conduit between parents and school administrators and teachers

when most needed. She was instrumental in the re-opening of Sisters High School

in 1992, and the smooth transition to the new high school in 2003. Her myriad of

duties including scheduling, accommodations, OSAA reporting, referee

coordination, fundraising, senior nights, programs, assisting the band, choir, and

drama programs, and generally taking the reigns when something was needed to

“get it done.” Her counseling skills were second to none, and the joy she found in

seeing her thousands of students succeed was profound. When SHS won the

Oregon Cup for the 2011-2012 school year (recognizing overall excellence by

Oregon schools in academics, activities, and athletics), it was due in no small part

to Pinky’s efforts.
