Principal - Beth Fisher

Greetings Bernardo Yorba Middle School Families!

 

My name is Beth Fisher and I am honored to serve as your new Principal.  For the past 10 years I have worked in Garden Grove Unified School District. I spent the last five years as Assistant Principal over Curriculum and Instruction, Student Activities, Parent Engagement, and Instructional Technology at La Quinta High School. I was a proud teacher leader in the subject areas of English, History, ELD, AVID, and ASB/Student Leadership. Prior to that I served as a Teacher on Special Assignment for the Office of 7-12 Instruction in the areas of AVID and Instructional Technology.  In addition to my time in GGUSD, I spent 2 years in the state of Oregon where I was a teacher leader, starting the AVID and ELD programs at my school site.  I have a passion for serving students and live by the motto that when it comes to serving students "ALL means ALL!"  In addition to my instructional work, I am an advocate for mental health, actively participating in the greater Orange County mental health community.  I believe that our students need to have a sense of safety and belonging to access the highest quality education.

 

I have been married to my husband for eleven years.  We have two beautiful daughters (3 and 1) and a little dog.  You may see me running past Bernardo or along the river with my double jogger stroller, as I am proud to live in this community.  I am a future PYLUSD parent, so I know first hand the importance of making the education for your students the best it can be!  Each day I approach the school with the mindset that I want to make my school a place where my own kids want to attend. 

 

I have an open door policy.  I hope that you will stop by and share your story with me.  It is of the utmost importance to me that I get to know the names, faces, and stories of our students and families as it is the PYLUSD way.  If you want to reach me, you can call (714)-986-7400 extension 22001 or email at bfisher@pylusd.org.  I look forward to getting to know you and serving as your Principal.
