Gina Ausmus
High School Principal
Welcome to East Central Schools!
My name is Gina Ausmus, and I am honored to serve as the principal of East Central High School.
My journey into education was a unique one. I began my career as a chiropractor after graduating from Northwestern Health Sciences University in 1997. While I enjoyed helping patients, I discovered that the most fulfilling part of my work centered around building relationships and educating others. That realization led me to pursue a new path in education, earning teaching and administrative degrees from the College of St. Scholastica and Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota.
Before joining East Central, I taught high school life science in my hometown of Pine City and later served as Dean of Students at Hinckley-Finlayson High School. These roles deepened my passion for working collaboratively with students, staff, and families and a desire to widen my circle of influence.
At the heart of my leadership is a commitment to building meaningful, lasting relationships. I believe that when students feel seen, heard, and supported, they thrive, both in and out of the classroom. I'm excited to be part of the Eagle family and look forward to working with our dedicated staff to ensure every student is known, valued, and prepared for their future.
Your Future. Our Focus.
