— from Cathy Ferran for Orcas School District —
OISD welcomes John Pacasum. John was hired just before the end of the school year to work in OISD Maintenance, and just in time to help ready our campus for our largest event of the year – OHS graduation.
John migrated to the US (West Los Angeles) from The Philippines when he was a teenager. After attending college at UC Santa Cruz he managed to live in Hawaii for a while, until finally landing in the Northwest where he met his wife, Lisa Jenkins.
John and Lisa moved to Orcas from Tacoma just last year when Lisa was hired as one of our elementary school teachers. John has years of working in the construction trade. Prior to moving to Orcas, he was a roofing contractor. John and Lisa have three children – all students at OISD – David (16), Joseph (12) and Khloe (9). John describes his marriage to Lisa as “still blissful after 12 years”.
