Redwood Heights Neighborhood News

New Principal to be Named Redwood Heights School bids a fond farewell to principal Ann Kruze and looks forward to welcoming a new principal for the fall.

Kruze accepted a position with Oakland Unified School District to coordinate instructional technology programs throughout the district. Her leadership and contributions to RHS are greatly appreciated. The school and neighborhood community wish her success in her new work on behalf of local schools.

In July, the RHS Principal Selection Committee was formed. The committee has been facilitating the interview process with OUSD and will recommend a new principal for the school. Committee members include four RHS parents, three RHS teachers, two RHS classified employees, and one RH community member.

RHS parents have supported the committee by identifying the qualities and skills they would like a new administrator to possess, including the ability to work with a diverse student, family, and community population; foster and support good teaching practices and programs; and advocate for RHS at the district level.

The Metro looks forward to introducing the new RHS principal to readers in an up-coming edition.
