Principal's Message

Hello Wolf Pack!

It is with great pride and excitement that I write this letter of introduction as the newly selected Principal of Van Nuys High School. VNHS is known to have long-standing traditions of excellence and is widely recognized as a school of excellence, and I believe this is due to a constant dedication and united focus on meeting the needs of all students.  It is my hope that every student and family in this community will recognize the outstanding and committed teachers, academics, athletics, leadership programs, faculty, and staff that go above and beyond to meet the needs of all our students. 

My priority is to provide a leadership that will facilitate and support a school environment that focuses on providing rigorous, standards-based, instructional programs to meet the needs of all students.  I truly believe parents, teachers, support staff, and administration all have an important role to encourage our students to become active learners.  It is my sincere desire to provide opportunities for our students to acquire the skills necessary to become productive members of society and be college and career-ready. 

It is an honor to be the Principal of Van Nuys High School and I very much look forward to working collaboratively with all of you to provide an outstanding high school education and experience to all students of this community and continue the tradition of excellence that is the calling card of VNHS. 

I am proud to be a member of the Wolf Pack!
