Message from the Principal -
February 3, 2010
Dear Parents and Students,
 I would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to our new
PE Teacher, Ms. Sierra Castro. Coach Castro is a San Diego native with
a Bachelor’s degree from San Diego State in Kinesiology and a
Masters and teaching credential in PE from Arizona State University.
Prior to coming to Solana Highlands, she coached varsity girls high
school water polo for three years, worked at summer day camps, and
taught swimming lessons as a swim instructor; something that she continues
to do. As one can imagine, Coach Castro practices what she preaches.
She loves being active and is frequently swimming, playing water polo,
exercising, or going to the beach. Something people may not know about
Coach Castro is that she had a scholarship to play water polo in college
where she played all four years and was an All-American goalie at San
Diego State!

When asked what she is looking forward to at Solana
Highlands, she said that she “is looking forward to getting to know
all of the students and families, helping to organize Field
Day, and exposing students to all sorts of fun activities so that they can
be physically active for a lifetime.”
I know that Coach Castro will be a great addition to our Solana Highlands
Family, and she will maintain the high standards for PE that we have had
with Coach Davis. She is excited to make students feel successful in PE by
giving lots of choices, exposure to various types of games and equipment,
and is very much looking forward to teaching an original, fun curriculum
that addresses all of the grade-level standards.
Welcome Coach Castro and thank you parents who provide this great resource
to our school through your contributions to the Foundation.
Sincerely,
Jerry Jones, Principal
