I am thrilled to be the new Principal at Hillview Junior High School joining the Warrior Community. I have spent the past 11 years as part of PUSD; first as an English teacher part of the Puente Program at Pittsburg High School, and then I transitioned into site administration. I spent half a year as an interim Assistant Principal at PHS, followed by one year as an Assistant Principal at Jesse Bethel High School. I was given the opportunity to return to PUSD as an Assistant Principal to Pittsburg High School where I’ve been the past 4 years. At my core, I am a relationally oriented person and it has truly been one of the joys of my life building relationships with our students and their families in Pittsburg Unified. I am looking forward to continuing to do so here, serving 6th - 8th graders. 

 

I am a student-centered and equity driven leader. I truly believe the trifecta and partnership between students, parents & staff is what makes some of the magic happen in the world of teaching & learning and carry a deep-seeded belief that all students can learn. I believe that education is our greatest equity tool we have with endless possibilities attached to the end of it. Every move, every meeting, and every decision, will be student-centered and involve bringing multiple stakeholders into the process to support students holistically. It truly takes a team on every front to support our students and move the work forward. 

 

I am looking forward to working alongside you to ensure your child feels seen, valued, celebrated, and is successful during their time here at Hillview Jr. High! Our goal is to support our Warriors growth as they navigate junior high and prepare for high school and beyond. 

 

I am looking forward to leading our school into an exciting year ahead!

In Partnership,

Ms. Kathryn Agudo
