Dr. Robert Sanchis: Superintendent of Sam Nicholson: Principal Ken Biermann: Assistant Principal Chakib Sambar: Instructional Vice Harriett Rothschild: Dean of Students I4 Administration lt's true that our administrator's pasts have involved different jobs and positions as well as different schools. Principal Sam Nicholson has been an important part of the Glendale Unified School District for 31 years. He was the principal at Rosemont Junior High for ten years, assistant principal at Glendale High, and assistant principal at Clark Junior High. He then transferred to Hoover and became a teacher, counselor, and coach. With all of his district experience, Mr. Nicholson felt he was prepared for the job of principal. Because all of his children graduated from CV, he was well acquainted with the school. Avidly involved in sports, Assistant Principal Ken Biermann was a teacher and coach of football and baseball at Burroughs. He then became a part of CV's staff as a P.E. teacher and coach of football and baseball for 15 years and an athletic director for ten. Next, was his role as CV's Dean of Students which he held for two years before becoming assistant principal. Beginning her career as a teach- er of English and German, Harriett Rothschild, Dean of Students, Schools went on to teach special educa- tion. She later taught at a continu- ation school. She became a special education teacher for CV for three years before becoming an adminis- trator. Freshman counselor, Don King, was a teacher at Clark Junior High for seven years and then became a counselor there until it was closed. After the closing of Clark, he came to CV, taught history and music, and then became a counselor. Spending most of his time in college, Sophomore Counselor, Tony Campana, taught history and government at Glendale High and came to CV to teach the same subjects for two years. Mr. Campana explained that you usually start as a teacher and go up to administration and get your Administrative or Counseling Credential. Many students are not aware that the mere existence of the Career Center is due to Junior Counselor Jeanne Bentley. Mrs. Bentley taught for a short time in her twenties and then stopped teaching to raise a family. She was actively involved in community volunteer work and was a board member of the PTA and Charity League President. She then went off to college, at the same time as her daughter, to obtain he masters. She was asked to start Career Center at CV. She was Career Center Resource Speciali for eight years and wrote tl' Career Guidance book for tr district. After teaching such classes i home economics and chil development, Senior Counseln Florence Gale went on to teac biology and life science. She the started counseling part tirr before becoming a full tirr counselor at CV. Counselor Doris Minor we originally a business teacher a CV, but moved to Roosevelt Junit High where she became counselor.
