School Grade Upgraded!

Norma Gonzales, Catalina High School Principal
Principal Norma Gonzalez, Phd

When asked what she likes best about being principal of Catalina, Dr. Gonzalez says “the diversity of the students and the dedication of the staff”.

An upgrade in the rating of CHS to a “C” school is the recent highlight in Dr. Gonzales Tenure, as well as increased enrollment and better teacher retention.  For more about Principal Gonzalez, please see the Fall 2022 newsletter.
