Welcome to the new school year! My name is Hector Guerrero and I am honored to serve as the new principal for Homestead School. Over the past 21 years, I have worked as a teacher, assistant principal, principal and director in the Ventura Unified School District. During the last three years, I served as principal of El Camino High School and Director of Educational Options. Beginning with this school year, I will focus my efforts on Homestead and continue to lead El Camino. My experience has taught me that my most important job is to be an advocate for all students and ensure that they are provided with a safe and academically rich environment where they can thrive as learners and members of our community.

I look forward to the work we will do together to strengthen our school's services and programs. I am committed to developing strong partnerships with parents, students and community members to ensure that the academic and social-emotional needs of all of our students are met.

It is an exciting time as we open the school year in our new home located at 150 Day Rd (across the parking lot from Foothill High School). Our students will now enjoy their own campus that has been structured to support independent learning. I am confident that both you and your child will love the set-up and the incredible lawn and garden space that will be available.

Once again, I am so thankful to have the opportunity to bring all that I have experienced and learned with me to your wonderful community. I look forward to getting to know all of you.

Warm Regards,

Hector Guerrero

Principal

The process for multi-site enrollment (MSE) has changed slightly. The application is a Google Form and the student needs to be approved and enrolled through the multi-site process prior to participating in the class. I’ve attached guidelines for the process which includes understanding of the rules and procedures, completing the application, and for athletes, parents must register their child as a student athlete. I will also include a paper copy of the rules and process in your ECHS mailbox but I won’t accept paper applications from families. It must be done using the Google Form.

Once the student has completed their MSE application, I will be let them know within a week if they’ve been approved and when they can start attending their desired MSE class. If families have any questions, please email jane.napora@venturausd.org
