It gives me great pleasure to have been given the honor to join the Oak View family as your new Principal. My name is Kent Cromwell. I have served the past five years working as the Principal of Laguna Continuation High School in Sonoma County, California. Prior to that, I served two years working as the Principal of San Miguel Elementary School, four years as the Principal of Brook Haven Middle School, and one year as the Dean of Students for Healdsburg High School overseeing all Alternative Education Programs.

I began my career in education as a Continuation High School teacher in 1998, after graduating from Sonoma State University. Although I was born and raised in the San Fernando Valley (Woodland Hills), I chose to remain in Sonoma County to begin my career. My intentions were always to return to Southern California. At this point in my life, I have finally relocated back to the San Fernando Valley and it feels great!

I look forward to meeting all of you and am excited to start the new year. Just a reminder… the first day of school is August 7th. It will be here before you know it! This is going to be a great year and we have a lot of fun things planned. See you on the 7th!
