CCUSD Superintendent Leslie Lockhart today announced the appointment of Dr. Amy Hodge as principal of El Rincon Elementary School. A 13-year veteran of CCUSD, Dr. Hodge most recently served as interim principal of Farragut Elementary School. Prior to that she was at El Rincon as a Cotsen Mentor and as a Teaching and Learning Partner, where she provided support for teachers in CGI math, and in Readers Workshop.

Her first CCUSD assignment was as a special education teacher and resource specialist at Linwood E Howe Elementary School. Dr. Hodge began her career 20 years ago in the Hawthorne School District as an elementary special education teacher.

Dr. Hodge is a product of CCUSD schools. She attended Linwood E Howe Elementary School, CCMS and CCHS.

"A collaborative school environment is the key to creating effective teachers and students who flourish," said Dr. Hodge. "Community is the essence of a successful school, and I pride myself on building close working relationships with staff, students and families alike. I look forward to returning to El Rincon and to continuing to build these same positive and trusting relationships while employing the best practices that are reflective of a CCUSD school."

 

In her spare time, Dr. Hodge enjoys spending time outdoors with her family, including her husband and three children: Nicholas, Jeremy and Jackson. Dr. Hodge begins her new post immediately.
