Sanchez new Silverado principal

Silverado has reached into the past to hire its new principal.

He is Art Sanchez, who coached the crosstown Victor Valley High School football team from 1993 through '98.

"Things are going good so far," Sanchez said. "I can't complain. I'm looking forward to the challenges."

Sanchez had a successful stint as the Victor Valley coach, including winning the Bell Game (versus rival Apple Valley) four of five times. Then he left the High Desert to become the assistant principal at Corona.

Sanchez, after three years at Corona, became the principal at Montebello Schurr High School, his alma mater. He was there for five years before being rehired by the Victor Valley Unified School District.

Sanchez replaces interim principal Terry Colvin, who is moving over to become the principal of Silverado's new ninth-grade campus.
