Board of Directors

Jennifer Knight, Vice Chair: Zone 4 – SW Area

Jennifer Knight is a long-time resident of Crook County, spending her K-12 years in this district. Her husband, Rich, was born and raised in Prineville. Jennifer worked as a bank teller and loan officer before becoming a Les Schwab employee for 14 ½ years in the Telecommunications Dept.

When their first son was born, she and Rich decided it was best for her to be a stay-at-home mom, which she was blessed to do for many years. Jennifer was on the PTC at Powell Butte and Ochoco Elementary. She volunteered at each of the kids’ schools whenever needed. Once they were middle school age, she began subbing as an Instructional Assistant at Crook County Middle School. She worked at the middle school for ten years as a SPED Instructional Assistant but left to pursue a different career path at Rosendin Electric in a Purchasing capacity, where she is currently employed.

Jennifer and Rich have three children. Their oldest son graduated in 2023 from OSU Cascades with a degree in Computer Science Engineering. Their daughter is attending COCC and pursuing a Business degree. Their youngest son took a gap year and worked in construction but decided to return to school and is currently attending and playing football at Willamette University.

Prineville has been their home for over four decades and will continue to be. Jennifer felt led to give back to the community, and with her background in the school district, she felt compelled to run for the Crook County school board. She plans to build on what is already in place and to help Crook Country School District grow and flourish.

Cheyenne Edgerly, Director: Zone 1 – NW Area

My name is Cheyenne Edgerly. I’m a native Oregonian and the proud mother of six children, five of whom have been enrolled in Crook County Schools. I graduated from Oregon State University in 1999 with a Bachelor of Science in Liberal Studies, and in 2001 finished my Master of Arts in Teaching. My husband Brett is a third-generation Crook County resident and Crook County High School graduate. We currently own and operate two small businesses in Prineville. We love this community and are blessed to call Crook County our home. I have always had a strong passion for the heart of education: our children.

I ran for school board because I believe we need stronger parental involvement and greater transparency. When parents are engaged and valued in the educational process, it strengthens the ability of children to learn. Our community, teachers, administrators, staff, and especially our children, will benefit from a renewed interest of parents in our community to have a valued role in our public education system. I commit to providing consistent leadership and policy decisions to make sure that our students, educators, and parents have what they need to accomplish the work of learning.

Steve Holliday, son of Chuck and Judy Holliday, was born and raised in Oregon.  He is a third-generation Crook County resident.  He and his wife Emily, a Prineville native, raised 3 children in Crook County.  Steve graduated from CCHS in 1991 and directly entered the Les Schwab workforce here in Prineville.  He worked for Les Schwab for 13 years- in the warehouse, sales and service, and eventually as an assistant manager in Boise and Nampa, Idaho.  In 2003 he moved back to Prineville and started working for his father-in-law at Prineville Disposal.  Steve and Emily took over the business in 2007 and worked hard at growing both the garbage side as well as the portable toilet/septic pumping side.  After 13 years of business ownership, Steve and Emily were fortunate enough to retire and sell the businesses in February 2020. 

Steve has devoted his time to volunteering on several boards over the years- Prineville-Crook County Chamber of Commerce as the Board President (2007-2011), Prineville Economic Development of Central Oregon (2009-2020), Powell Butte Community Charter School as the Board Chair (2013-2023) and currently the President of the Crooked River Roundup.  With prior professional and school board experience, Steve is eager to work collaboratively with the board to ensure high student achievement, maintain a great staff culture, plan for future growth, and make needed repairs to older buildings. 

The oldest of Steve and Emily’s children will graduate from Oregon State University with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science with a minor in business.  Their second oldest will be attending the University of Washington in the fall.  The youngest will be a Junior at CCHS fall of 2023.
