Stephanie Beach will serve as the interim principal starting in the beginning of March.

This decision was made following the announcement that Denise Davis will be leaving Castaic Elementary School at the end of February.  

The board remain most grateful for the leadership and contributions made by Davis and wish her success in her new position as principal of Painted Rock Elementary School in the Poway Unified School District.

Beach has been on staff with the Castaic Union School District since August, 2000 when she began her career as a fifth grade teacher at Castaic Middle School.  

Beach also taught third grade at Live Oak Elementary School, before returning to Castaic Middle School in 2011, where she served as a Teacher on Special Assignment and as Acting Assistant Principal from 2012 until 2014.  

She was then appointed as the assistant principal in 2014.

Most recently, Beach has been supporting the district office as an Administrator on Special Assignment.  

Beach is very knowledgeable in all areas of instructional technology and 21st Century Learning.  

She is a GATE certified teacher and is a CUSD English Language Development Administrator.  

The board is confident that her experience and the relationships she has established with the staff and community will be an asset to her and the students as she transitions into the role as interim principal at Castaic Elementary School.
