Let Me Introduce Myself
August 5, 2022
Dear Santa Margarita Families,
It is a pleasure to introduce myself as the Interim Principal of Santa Margarita. Interim is a fancy word for “temporary”. The good news is that while away for personal reasons, Mrs. Richmond will be back. In the meantime, you will get someone with extensive experience, someone who knows the school and district at all levels, and most importantly, someone who loves kids.
Yes, I was principal of Santa Margarita many years ago. During a 40 year career in the Oceanside School District, I served as a teacher, and a principal at Palmquist, North Terrace, McAuliffe, King Middle, and El Camino High School. When I retired a few years ago, I knew that I had made a difference in the lives of thousands of students, and the community as a whole. I truly loved each school, each experience, and each child. .
I’m excited about being back to work with the students, military families and staff at Santa Margarita. I am not coming back due to boredom, or a lack of things to keep me occupied. This is a temporary need, and I am happy to help.
I am encouraged by a recent article in the U.S. News and World that states the Santa Margarita Mustangs are the top school in Oceanside, and one of the best in California. This says a lot about the staff, our families and the children. Congratulations!
I ask that we sincerely try to work together, to support each other, and to make every day on campus as smooth as possible. Please try to introduce yourselves to me when possible. I will make it a point to be visible, and to be out and about. And, you are always welcome to make an appointment to see me.
Please be patient, talk with me directly if issues arise, and I look forward to being part of the Mustang Family once again.
Sincerely,
Bob Rowe
Interim Principal
