Carrie LaRoy has been appointed as the new VIP (Volunteer in Person) Coordinator for Walla Walla Public Schools, effective immediately. LaRoy has worked for the district for 17 years, most recently as a Technology Integration Specialist.
The VIP program, established in 2023 by community member Beth Swanson, now has nearly 3,000 registered volunteers supporting schools across the district. LaRoy plans to build on Swanson's foundation while focusing on strengthening community-school connections and expanding volunteer opportunities.
LaRoy will continue to support district technology initiatives while overseeing the volunteer program, which aims to connect community members' time, talents, and resources with school needs.
