It is with great pleasure in which I introduce myself as Principal of Rancho Verde Highschool. I have been a member of the Val Verde Unified School District since January 2017as an Assistant Principal at Rancho Verde HS. Prior to becoming a part of the amazing VVUSD family, I served 21 years in the Los Angeles Unified School District. I began my career in education as a Middle school teacher. I was in the classroom for just over ten years and then I went into school administration. I have served as an Assistant Principal and Principal at the Middle and High school levels. 

I have a strong conviction to educate and support every child to become their very best academically and in character development. As part of Val Verde Unified School District, we are committed to providing 21st Century learning for every student, through our Vision: Rancho Verde High School will foster a culture of success for life-long learning and Mission: To motivate our diverse population to achieve the academic and social skills necessary to meet the challenges of today and tomorrow. We strive to ensure each graduating RVHS student embodies the “Portrait of a Graduate” which serves as our North Star.

This school year is going to be amazing! I encourage every student to get involved in our many extracurricular activities including but not limited to, ASB, Link Crew, theater, art, choir, dance, band or sports. Working together with all stakeholders we may support all students to succeed.  

I maintain an open-door policy and am eager to hear your thoughts and input regarding the various facets of our school community. Thank you.
