Hello Olympic community! My name is Lynsie Castellano and I am thrilled and honored to be joining the Olympic staff this year as the newly appointed Principal. As I settle in and learn more about the site and my responsibilities in this new position, I look forward to meeting with students, parents and staff to hear and discuss your vision and thoughts!
I am a product of the Mt. Diablo Unified School District, having attended school in the Mt. Diablo High School feeder pattern until graduating and heading off to college. I attended undergraduate school at San Diego State University and then earned my Master’s in Social Welfare at UC Berkeley. While in San Diego, I had the unique experience working at a reservation based alternative middle/high school and developing programs and implementing services from the ground up. After moving back to the Bay Area, I had the opportunity to work both in school based and child welfare social work settings. My love for supporting students in a school setting has remained.
I began working as a Student Services Coordinator/ Vice Principal during the 2006-2007 school year at Riverview Middle School in Bay Point and spent the next 8 years there. Last year I worked as the Vice Principal at Valley View Middle School. I am so excited to be here at Olympic serving the student population and community I love.
At Olympic we are committed to developing lifelong learners, independent thinkers, caring individuals and responsible adults.
We are going to have an awesome year!
Lynsie
