The director of North Eugene High is officially only two and a half weeks after his resignation was made public.
Hoofd Nain Muñoz sent the Noord community on Wednesday afternoon and communicated his intention to step away as the administrative lead of the school, immediately in force. Originally Muñoz had planned to complete the 2024-25 school year.
“This has been an emotional process and I believe this is the right course for our school,” said Muñoz in the E -mail. “This decision gives our employees the best possible opportunity to start fresh and have enough time to find new leadership for the next school year. For myself, I would like to concentrate on my family before my next large professional company.”
Muñoz submitted his resignation on November 13, but it was not publicly announced until January 10. When the North Community heard that he was leaving, they gathered around Muñoz and Drongen on both he and Eugene School District 4j to reconsider. Muñoz sent an e -mail on January 17 and stated that he intended to reverse the resignation, but 4j confirmed it.
After a whirlwind month for NEHS, Muñoz officially left his role.
Muñoz told the Register-Guard that his time at NEHS would forever include some of his favorite experiences as director. He expressed his gratitude to the entire north community and said it was an honor to be in the role.

“The whole staff is unparalleled, I have never been close to a group of professionals who care about students and give so much to students,” said Muñoz. “I will also miss the Highlander -students. I never considered one of those days as their director as a matter of course. I loved every minute and will miss many.”
4J Assistant -Superintents Larry Williams and Brooke Wagner sent a release to members of the community who confirmed the Muñoz exit on Wednesday afternoon and give updates about who will take over the leadership of NEHS in the meantime.

“We know that this was a difficult process for everyone, including director Muñoz and the North Eugene community,” said Williams and Wagner. “We were not prepared for his first resignation and we expected that we would start recruiting with him still in the north of the end of the year. We want to acknowledge that these situations are painful to many connected to the community of north- Eugene have been a combination of difficulties that could not be solved.

When his resignation was initially announced, 4J leaders expressed their intention to organize “opportunities” for parents and guardians to give input about the qualities they would like to see in the next director of NEHS.
“We love and respect the entire north community and want nothing more than to have a great leader who will concentrate on all the great things North Eugene High School,” said Williams and Wagner. “We will work closely with the North Community if we are looking for the right person to set an example of Highlander Pride.”
