I am Derenda Aranda, Principal at North Park Elementary and I am excited and honored to work with the students and staff at North Park.

I am a 1997 OPSU graduate and I have been in education for fourteen years and have explored education in a variety of areas in classrooms in grades Pk-12 for nine years and in the capacity of the Dean of Students for four years. This is my second year at Guymon Public Schools.

I am a 1997 OPSU graduate and received my Master of Arts in Educational Leadership from York College in 2021. Others' successes and outcomes are my biggest reward and inspire me to be the best educator and administrator I can be for my students, teachers, and district. I share in others' successes as I understand that raising and educating a child takes a village. I believe we can pull our strengths together to meet the needs of our diverse population of students at GPS. Working with our community partners and parents is a priority for me.

I am a proud mother and wife and owe my accomplishments to the encouragement and support of my family, colleagues, and husband.
My husband and I farm north of Guymon, and we look forward to our time spent camping in the mountains or visiting our children.
