PASADENA UNIFIED ANNOUNCES THE SELECTION OF 

FIELD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PRINCIPAL

Pasadena, CA – The Pasadena Unified School 
District (PUSD) is pleased to announce the 
selection of Daniel Bagby as principal of 
Eugene Field Elementary School.

“I am pleased to welcome Mr. Bagby to the 
PUSD leadership team,” said Superintendent 
Brian McDonald. “With his proven track 
record of effectively educating culturally 
and linguistically diverse learners, he is 
well-prepared to lead the students, staff and 
community of Field Elementary School and 
its model dual language immersion program 
to further a culture of success and continuous 
improvement that meets the needs of every 
student.”

Mr. Bagby brings more than 25 years of 
experience as an educator to his new position. 
He joins PUSD from the Los Angeles Unified 
School District, where he has been principal of 
the Ambassador School of Global Education 
since 2014. The elementary school, one of 
six autonomous small schools of the Robert 
F. Kennedy Community Schools, is part of 
both national and international networks that 
create opportunities for teachers to collaborate on student projects. 
The school offers foreign language instruction in Korean, Spanish, 
and Mandarin, and has established partnerships to promote 
understanding among the people, leaders and institutions of 
the U.S. and Asia. Mr. Bagby’s experience includes working as a 
program coordinator, curriculum specialist, instructional coach, 
and bilingual teacher.

“I am thrilled and humbled to be selected as the new principal of 
Field Elementary School and will bring my passion for student 
achievement to this new position with the 
Pasadena Unified School District,” said 
Mr. Bagby. “The school, with its Mandarin 
dual language immersion program, has an 
established reputation of translating its beliefs 
about children and their capabilities into 
action with spectacular results. My desire is 
to harness this vision and partner with school 
stakeholders to further the school’s culture of 
success to meet the needs of all students.”

Mr. Bagby has a Master of Arts in Educational 
Leadership and Administration from 
California State University, Los Angeles, and 
a Bachelor of Arts from Biola University.

Mr. Bagby was selected after a competitive 
process that included feedback provided 
by Field Elementary School stakeholders, 
students, employees, and parents that 
informed the development of the new 
principal profile.

Mr. Bagby’s appointment is effective July 1, 
2016. Former principal Ana Maria Apadoca 
has been selected as the new principal of 
Altadena Elementary.

DUARTE HIGH SCHOOL 
ANNOUNCES CLASS OF 
2016 VALEDICTORIAN & 
SALUTATORIAN 

SIERRA MADRE WOMAN’S 
CLUB’S STUDENT ENTRANT 
WINS FIRST PLACE ART AWARD 
AT SGVD AND CFWC 2016 
COMPETITIONS

(Duarte, CA) – A memorable year for Duarte High School’s 242 seniors is 
coming to a close with events leading up to graduation at the Falcon Stadium on 
Wednesday, June 8, 2016 at 6:30 p.m.

 Prior to that occasion, however, is an ongoing stretch of events that help salute 
and single out the accomplishments of the seniors.

 The Class of 2016 represents a unique group of seniors, according to Principal 
Mark Sims. “In my interaction with them over the last two years, I’ve come to 
enjoy their personalities,” he said. “They’ve been people who haven’t been about 
chasing grades but rather, they have pursued learning for learning’s sake.”

 Two of the top performing students are Valedictorian Michelle Liem and 
Salutatorian Michael Hoo, who represent much of the diversity of the class.

 Liem is headed to UC San Diego to study bio-engineering. She selected 
that course of study because it combines calculus, physics and biology. It’s a 
relatively new field and is attractive to her because of her work ethic and passion 
for learning. Liem has this message for future graduates: “Find something you 
enjoy, something that grounds you, and treat it as a labor of love.”

 Hoo will continue his education at New York University (NYU) in the field of 
game design. He credits his friends for support and the Internet for his success 
because it offers so many resources. He believes that game design will bring 
people together. His Words of Wisdom: 
“You do you.”

 For all seniors, many events will fill 
the days until graduation on June 8. 

 Included among those events have 
been the Senior Presentations, in which 
each of the graduates talks about the 
learning outcomes of their final year at 
DHS and indicates how various activities, 
classes, or sports, helped shape their 
learning process. Those presentations 
replaced what were previously known 
as the Senior Projects. Each student 
presented for up to four-minutes before 
a three-person faculty panel Wednesday 
and Thursday (May 25 and 26).

 Many of the seniors will be honored 
at the Senior Awards Breakfast on 
Monday, June 6, at the Embassy Suites 
in Arcadia, starting at 8 a.m. Students 
will learn what scholarships and other 
honorariums they are going to receive at 
this event.

 Earlier, DHS held the Academic 
Awards Night at Cooper Auditorium at 
City of Hope.

 “This event doesn’t necessarily 
recognize those with the highest 
GPAs, but includes those with great 
work ethics, those who have overcome 
adversity, those who have made great 
improvements,’’ said Sims. 

 “This recognizes a lot of strong 
students, but might include someone 
with a 2.5 GPA as well as those with the 
best grades.”

Shanti Rozario, a seventh grader at 
Pasadena Christian School and a student 
at nearby Pasadena’s Art Studio, won 
first place in her category at the San 
Gabriel Valley District contest in March, 
and the California Federated Women’s 
Clubs contest in May, 2016. A member 
of the General Federation of Women’s 
Clubs, Sierra Madre Woman’s Club was 
founded February 1907 and continues 
its participation in community activities 
and charitable contributions through 
promotion of educational, philanthropic 
and civic advancement and social 
activities, including its social fundraisers 
and the Wistaria Thrift Shop. Facebook.
