District Announces Administrative Changes

The San Bernardino City Unified School District (SBCUSD) has announced a recent change in leadership at two district schools and the appointment of a new principal at H. Frank Dominguez Elementary School, which is scheduled to open in August 2014. Superintendent Dr. Dale Marsden announced today that, effective immediately, Principal Tex Acosta has decided to pursue other opportunities at the District level and, therefore, will not be returning to Pacific High School. “I commend Principal Acosta’s decision, and he has assured me that the foundation of excellence at Pacific will continue to allow students to reach high levels of academic achievement,” said Marsden. “We welcome him to the District office team.” Under Acosta’s leadership, Pacific High has experienced noteworthy academic growth. The school’s Academic Performance Index (API) has increased by 81 points over the last three years, and there has been a 21% increase in the school’s graduation rate over the last two years. In addition, the school earned a 6-year WASC accreditation for the first time in 12 years. Lisette Lovette, currently an assistant administrator for instructional improvement and academic coaching at Pacific, will serve as the interim principal at Pacific High for the remainder of the school year. Retired administrator Janet Gutierrez will serve temporarily as a Pacific High School vice principal. Other administrative changes include the appointment of William Prudhomme to principal of Del Vallejo Middle School. This change was made following the retirement of Principal Charles McWilliams. Prudhomme is a former Pacific High School vice principal. Alejandro Hernandez, current principal of Muscoy Elementary School, was named principal at H. Frank Dominguez Elementary. “We have a great team of talented administrators,” Marsden said. “These principals bring new ideas and a sense of renewed energy, which strengthens our mission to make all San Bernardino and Highland students college and career ready.”
