In our last edition of The Envoy I reported on our celebration of
the ground breaking at El Camino Creek School. Construction is moving quickly at our
newest school located in the new housing development of La Costa Valley. Now,
I am very pleased to announce that I have appointed the principal for El Camino Creek
School. At the January 11th board meeting I announced the assignment of Dr. Debbie Blow to
provide leadership for our new school.
Dr. Blow was recognized as Administrator of the Year in May 1999. She has provided
leadership at La Costa Heights School for the past six years. During her tenure at La
Costa Heights the school was recognized as a California Distinguished School and recently
received the honor of being named a National Blue Ribbon School. She serves as the chair
of the District Web Committee and is a founding member of the district’s Technology
Committee. Dr. Blow is recognized as a curriculum leader in our district and the county.
She is very active in the San Diego County Math Leaders Organization and has assisted with
our district’s creation of the Standards Based Assessment in Mathematics.

Dr. Blow will be released in February from her duties as Principal of La
Costa Heights to focus on the task of opening El Camino Creek School. In anticipation of
this appointment, the district has posted a principal opening and the selection process
has already begun. The selection process is very thorough and is designed to result in a
top candidate to provide leadership for La Costa Heights. In fact, it is the district
selection process that brought us Dr. Blow in February of 1994 as a result of the opening
of Olivenhain Pioneer School. The final selection of a principal for La Costa Heights
should culminate with the announcement of the successful candidate at the board meeting
scheduled on February 8, 2000.
As you can tell, the year 2000 will be an exciting year for our district as we prepare
to open a new school to meet the needs of children in our growing community. Further, we
are looking forward to working with you as we join together to provide a powerful
educational experience for all children in our district.
