Katy Ferrell-Cárdenas, previously the principal of the middle school, took the position of dean. Maya Hoel became the middle school's principal. In the beginning of the 2007 school year, Hoel returned to being only an art teacher and is no longer the principal of the middle school. Cárdenas leads both schools.
