Dear Families and Community Members,

It is with great enthusiasm and excitement that I introduce myself. My name is Serina West, assistant principal for Del Rio. I have been a teacher for the Oceanside Unified School District for over 22 years and served as Interim principal at Garrison Elementary School and assistant principal at both Santa Margarita (K-8) school and Stuart Mesa (K-8) school. 

My love for working with students and my strong support for public education has inspired me to serve in a variety of leadership roles at the local, state, and national level. I hold a National Board Certification in Teaching, and two Master Degrees  (Master of Arts in Teaching and Masters of Arts in Education Administration). 

Although I am humbly proud of my accomplishments, I saved the best for last! I was born and raised in Knoxville Tennessee. I am a grandmother of 4 grandsons, and a mother of two beautiful daughters. Both my daughters attended schools in the Oceanside Unified School District. 

I am honored to be supporting staff, students, parents, and community members of the Oceanside Unified School District. I am committed to students' educational growth as well as their social and emotional well-being.  I look forward to an exciting year supporting you as assistant principal of Del Rio Elementary!

Sincerely,

Serina West

Assistant Principal
