CHS Principal, Jennifer Moore, to Join Silver Strand Elementary as Principal – Shane Schmeichel will be Next CHS Principal

Editor’s Note:  Announcement sent from Karl Mueller, CUSD Superintendent:


Dear CUSD Staff & Parents:  It is a pleasure to announce two significant changes to our district leadership configuration for the 2018-19 school year.

CHS Principal, Jennifer Moore, to Join Silver Strand Elementary as new Principal.

Current CHS Principal, Jennifer Moore, will join the dynamic staff and community at Silver Strand Elementary (SSE) as their next principal. Feedback from both SSE staff and parent survey responses prioritized desired characteristics of the new leader. Common themes from shareholders include: a collaborative educator who actively seeks out relationships with all members of the school community; a strong communicator; a decisive leader; someone who understands and will appreciate the uniqueness of Silver Strand; an impassioned and enthusiastic individual who will love, care for, and connect with our community; and a leader who is approachable, visible, and accessible. The most notable and frequent response: a principal who will be an advocate and champion for our Voyager Family.

Ms. Moore’s education experiences started in 1993 and include teaching in Washington DC (through the Teach for America program), Kenya, Coronado Middle School and Coronado High School. In addition, she has served as department chair, AP/IB Coordinator, Assistant Principal and Principal at CHS. Currently, Jenny enjoys coaching her youngest daughter’s 5-year-old soccer team and spending time with her children (daughters in middle school and high school), and husband, Jon, a proud alum of Silver Strand Elementary.

While remaining dedicated to CHS and all community members through this school year, when selected, Ms. Moore stated: “I accept the challenge and privilege of leading Silver Strand Elementary School next school year with excitement and a commitment to learning alongside its students, staff, and families.  I am grateful for a new opportunity to continue to serve Coronado Unified School District.”

Assistant Principal and COSA Director, Mr. Shane Schmeichel will be the new Principal at CHS.

Replacing Ms. Moore as Principal of Coronado High School will be current Assistant Principal and COSA Director, Mr. Shane Schmeichel! Mr. Schmeichel is held in high regard by the staff and student body and has earned trust, respect, and admiration during his tenure, since 2012, at CHS. Prior to joining CHS, Mr. Schmeichel was a district level program coordinator, teacher, and counselor. His unique balance of creativity and critical thinking already support the robust course of study and experiences available to our students. As the principal of CHS, Mr. Schmeichel will lead and support our strong CHS staff and community.

To the staff at CHS Mr. Schmeichel shares: “Our learning environment is filled with caring and talented teachers, students, parents and community members. I am extremely excited for this opportunity to support the amazing impact you all have on the next generation. Your passions, talents and hard work make a difference!  Together we will continue our work to support the strengths, passions and areas of growth of the young adults we are blessed to have at this school.”

For the remainder of the school year, Ms. Moore will support CHS and Mr. Schmeichel during this transition and work closely with Ms. Marble and the SSE staff to learn more about their school community.

Sincerely,
Karl Mueller
CUSD Superintendent
