Lake Havasu Approves New Principal

The Lake Havasu Unified School District officially approved a new principal Tuesday night.  The Governing Board was in a rush to find a new principal due to the sudden death of Susan Lust from Oro Grande Elementary.

As I read the article about the death of Susan Lust, I learned that Brad Gardner, who was the assistant principal of Thunderbolt Middle School, will now be the principal of Oro Grande Elementary School.  I also learned that he was completely surprised to get the call offering him the position. Mr. Gardner has been in the education business for more than 25 years and in the Lake Havasu City area for 10 years, with four years in the Lake Havasu Unified School District.

After doing some research, I have found that Oro Grande Elementary is a wonderful school that is already excelling.  The school has always had a strong bond between teachers, students, parents and the community, which has helped propel the school to the level that it is.  The school motivates its teachers to teach their students for the future, not just the current grade they are in.  The teachers also help each student with their individual strengths and weaknesses to help establish a smooth transition to each grade level.

Oro Grande Elementary School is located at 1250 Pawnee Drive, Lake Havasu City, Arizona and first opened in 1982.  It currently serves around 450 students in grades K-5 and is rated an "Excelling" school.  The school mascot is the roadrunner.

Hopefully, Mr. Gardner will do a great job within Lake Havasu City's Oro Grande Elementary.  He has a lot of good ideas in mind so far.
