Administration
I am excited to be the Principal of San Dimas High School. I wake up every morning fired up to help ignite a passion for learning in all of our students. I believe that every student deserves a high school that cultivates an environment of high expectations while caring for the whole student. I know San Dimas is a great school where students can realize their gifts, apply and develop their talents, and feel a genuine sense of fulfillment for their contributions to the San Dimas community.
I grew up in Rialto, California and attended Eisenhower High School.
I graduated from the California State University of San Bernardino with a Bachelor's Degree in Physical Education. I have a Master's Degree in Physical Education and Educational Leadership from Azusa Pacific University. I started my career teaching 4th grade for five years. I then moved to teach high school PE at Eisenhower High School. My principal encouraged me to become an administrator. I was hired as an Assistant Principal at Eisenhower. Five years later I was given the opportunity to become the first alumni principal of Eisenhower High School.
I have five children. My oldest, Astin, graduated from Johnson and Wales University in Denver and currently lives with his wife and dogs in Boise, Idaho. My oldest daughter, Nicole, graduated from the University of Nevada at Reno. She now lives in Reno, Nevada with her husband and two dogs. Mikinize is currently working and attending Chaffey Junior College. Victoria just graduated from high school and lives in Boise, Idaho. My youngest daughter Alexis is a junior at Eisenhower High School and plans to go into the military when she graduates.
San Dimas High school has the potential to be the best high school in California. I am ready to work hard to make that goal a reality. There are three types of people in this world, people that make it happen, people that watch it happen, and people who wonder what happened. At San Dimas, we want to make it happen!
Mr. Jack NanceIt is my honor to serve as Assistant Principal at San Dimas High School. San Dimas High School is destined for great things and I am so excited to be a part of it. I look forward to helping students and staff to reach for the great expectations San Dimas High School has established. Getting involved is the best way to reach these expectations in the quick four years of high school. Four years that students remember for a lifetime.

My responsibilities include athletics, activities, facilities
and discipline (last name G-N). My greatest challenge and joy is in supporting teachers and students in improving student achievement and celebrating their success outside the classroom.
I truly feel we have an awesome school that offers students a variety of opportunities that allow them to excel in the classroom, participate in clubs and athletics and to emerge as leaders ready to meet the demands of college or the work world. Students and staff at San Dimas have pride in their school and work together to make this the BEST high school in the state.
I am so excited to begin my first year at San Dimas High School. I have been in the education field for the past fourteen years as an English teacher, coach, and activities director. For the past seven years, I served as the Activities Director at my alma mater Eisenhower High School where I also served as an English and AVID Teacher, Girls Basketball and Track Coach, and Yearbook Advisor.
I am a proud graduate of the University of La Verne – Go, Leopards! – with a bachelor’s degree in Diversified Education with an emphasis in English and Grand Canyon University – Go, Lopes! – with a master’s degree in Education Administration. I have enjoyed my education journey and hope to share that love for learning with the students of SDHS.
I enjoy going on adventures with my husband, Gilbert, and children, Mackenzie and Matthew. From hiking to watching a good movie, nothing beats family time at the Pulido house.
I am excited to join a strong team dedicated to the success of all Saints. I am excited to serve as the Assistant Principal of Student Services and can’t wait to meet everyone in person. Stay safe, Saints!
