Principal, Russ Wilsterman

Hello Timberwolves!

I am excited to welcome you to Cedarcrest Middle School! I have served as the principal of Cedarcrest since 2018. Over the years I have truly come to love our school staff and the students and families we serve.

I enjoy working with middle school students and trying to inspire you to recognize and reach your fullest potential! I believe that every student has talents and abilities that can be developed that will benefit you and make a positive impact in our community and the world. Middle school is one of the most important times in your life for growth. My goal is to provide a school environment that empowers you and fosters your growth so you can invest in yourselves and your future. Seeing your growth between the time you first arrive until the day you leave middle school makes this an incredibly rewarding job for myself and our staff.

Here is a little about myself:

I was born in Everett but have lived in many places in addition to Washington including Ohio, Utah, Texas, and even Lima, Peru. My wife Ashlee and I have been married since 2003. We are the proud parents of five daughters ranging in age from 8-17 years old and from 3rd grade to College. Prior to becoming the principal of Cedarcrest I was an assistant principal (5yrs) and Spanish teacher (7yrs) in Mount Vernon Washington and Dallas Texas. When I am not at Cedarcrest, I enjoy spending time with my family, running, lifting weights, and doing sports or playing games.

When you see me around the halls please come give me a fist bump or even challenge me to a game of basketball at lunch. I am here for you!

Sincerely,

Mr. Wilsterman
