Please view our Forest Hill introduction video and learn more about our school.
This week, Forest Hill families and staff offered input as to the qualities they desire in a new principal, and they appear to be in sync. They asked District administrators to seek an experienced educator who is approachable, fosters a positive learning environment, and is able to inspire the staff to achieve educational excellence.
The job posting will close Friday, November 22, according to Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources Lena Bundtzen. The input from parents and staff will be incorporated into the District’s three-part interview process that is planned to begin in early December.
“We are dedicated to finding the right leader for Forest Hill, one who is best suited to implement the school and District’s mission and vision,” said District Superintendent Shelly Viramontez.
"On behalf of the California PBIS Coalition, we are pleased to recognize Forest Hill Elementary School of the Campbell Union School District for successful PBIS implementation at the GOLD level. Your school is a recipient within the California PBIS Coalition’s System of Recognition, reflecting excellence in the measurement of fidelity as well as your efforts in implementing the core features of Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports."
