Dr. Debbie Blow selected as Superintendent of Cambrian School District

Congratulations to Dr. Debbie Blow as the newly appointed district superintendent of the Cambrian School District in Santa Clara County.  Last night, the Cambrian Board of Trustees met in a special meeting to approve Debbie’s well-deserved appointment. During the site visit, which was conducted on Tuesday by a representative team of Board members, administrators, parents, teachers and employee association representatives, they learned of Debbie’s legacy of successful leadership experiences in EUSD as a principal and assistant superintendent.  Like EUSD, Cambrian is a high performing school district that is focusing on 21st Century learning, the writing process, and acceleration.  Cambrian is a suburban school district near San Jose that serves approximately 3000 in grades K-8.  Nestled in the Silicon Valley, Cambrian School District benefits greatly from the parent and community resources that support and value highly effective schools. Debbie’s leadership, work ethic, and vision have contributed greatly to the many successes in EUSD. Congratulations, Debbie!
