Dear Elkhorn School parents, It is truly an honor and privilege to serve as principal of Elkhorn School and part of North Monterey County Unified School District. I began my career in education in North Monterey County Unified School District 20 years ago where I started as a 1st grade bilingual teacher at Prunedale Elementary School. I have been at Elkhorn School for 13 years, 3 as assistant principal and 10 as principal. During the 20 years I have also been a mentor for our beginning teachers and a bilingual literacy coach for the district. I can honestly say that we have the best kids, families, staff and community that really support students and their success in learning and becoming responsible adults.
A group of local school board members and superintendents took part in a professional development training course that took at least a year to complete. But, Wendy Root Askew said completing the program just goes with the territory of running for elected office.
MONTEREY COUNTY — A pair of local school districts are receiving some extra funding for their visual and performing arts programs starting next year. The Monterey Peninsula Unified and the North Monterey County Unified school districts announced last week they had received a Student Support and Academic Enrichment competitive grant.
