Bresell explained, although many of these administrators have already worked as Principals and Assistant Principals in the Pacific, we are extremely fortunate to have these well qualified individuals as educational leaders. Each of them brings a philosophy that schools represent the foundation for the communities we serve and that children are a precious resource for our country.  Their skills as strong managers and supervisors are critical components as we work to achieve Highest Student Achievement.
