PLACENTIA/YORBA LINDA : 11 Schools Will Have New Principals
Eleven schools in the Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District will have new principals this fall.
The changes are part of the district’s plan to rotate principals every five years, a policy adopted to allow school administrators to work at a variety of schools.
District officials also announced that they would conduct a job search for three principals to replace El Dorado High School Principal JoAnn Ball and Rose Drive Elementary School Principal Audell Jackson, who are retiring at the end of this school year, and Yorba Linda Middle School Principal Ken Lorge, who will become the district’s administrator of child welfare and attendance.
The new principal assignments include Joe Quartucci, El Dorado High School; George Allen, Valencia High School; Richard Vouga, Yorba Linda Middle School; Randi Trontz, Morse Avenue Elementary School; Paula Emry-Burtt, Brookhaven Elementary School; Phil Hergenreder, Rose Drive Elementary School; Kathy Pritchard, Topaz Elementary School; and Kjell Taylor, Rio Vista Elementary School.
In addition, new principals will be hired at Esperanza High School, Travis Ranch School and Bernardo Yorba Middle School.
