ANTELOPE VALLEY : Principal Named to Head School District
A Kern County school principal and former Simi Valley teacher has been named superintendent of the Hughes-Elizabeth Lakes Union School District in the Antelope Valley, officials said Thursday.
Michael T. Harris, 45, is scheduled to start June 22 under a three-year contract that has a beginning salary of $62,000. The small district has one school with 484 students and serves the west valley communities of Lake Hughes, Lake Elizabeth and Green Valley.
Harris had been an elementary school principal for eight years in the Taft City School District in Kern County. He worked from 1971 to 1984 as an elementary teacher in the Simi Valley Unified School District. Former Hughes Supt. Carolyn Kelso resigned last July.
