In an e-mail, I asked Matt Horvath, the new 34-year-old principal at North High School in Torrance, what kind of challenges he anticipates facing during his first year on the job.
"As with most schools and school districts, I feel that one of the most
difficult challenges administrators face is continuing to raise the
student achievement of a school community while facing budget
uncertainty and often times cutbacks," he said in the e-mail. "In these times we must continue to put students at the center of our decisions while not getting bogged down with things that are not in our control."
"I look forward to leading the North High School Community," he added.
It should be noted that aside from his administrative roles, Horvath was also a teacher at Banning High School.
