Secretary, Barb A.

Meet Poway Unified’s new Superintendent, Dr. Churchill, as he shares district updates, introduces his new leadership team, and discusses the future of local education while expressing appreciation for Rotary’s partnership in supporting students.

Dr. Churchill, our new Superintendent, has a whole new executive leadership team now in place. He would welcome the opportunity to attend an upcoming meeting and an opportunity to address the membership. We’re hoping to connect with your members, share updates from Poway Unified, and personally express appreciation for the partnership and support that you provide to our students and programs. I will help coordinate with his assistant who arranges his calendar if the club would like to welcome Dr. Churchill.
