Meet Our New Principal, Cinda Francis

I am honored to serve as the new Principal of Fillmore High School, beginning next school year. My journey in education spans nearly three decades, all dedicated to serving the students and families of the Fillmore Unified School District since 1998.
 
My administrative career began in August 2019 when I transitioned to serve as Assistant Principal at Fillmore Middle School. In August 2021, I moved to Fillmore High School as Assistant Principal, and since 2022, I have specialized as the Assistant Principal over Curriculum and Instruction, focusing on academic excellence and instructional innovation.
 
My foundation in education was built in the classroom as a Social Studies teacher, where I developed a deep understanding of student learning and engagement. I proudly served as the Social Studies Department Chair.
Throughout my career, I have been committed to supporting diverse learners and developing fellow educators. I served as the AVID Coordinator, helping students develop college and career readiness skills. As the English Learner Site Lead, I championed programs to support our multilingual learners. My passion for educator development led me to serve as a New Teacher Mentor and as a PAR (Peer Assisted Review) Support Provider, working with teachers across K-12 to enhance instructional practices.
 
I earned my Bachelor's degree in Social Studies from Westmont College, where I developed my foundational knowledge in history, government, and social sciences. Recognizing the importance of educational leadership, I pursued and completed my Master's degree in Educational Leadership from Claremont Graduate University, preparing me for the administrative roles I have embraced.
 
With nearly 28 years of dedicated service to the Fillmore Unified School District, I bring deep institutional knowledge and an unwavering commitment to student success. I look forward to leading Fillmore High School into its next chapter of excellence in academics, arts, athletics, and activities. Together, we will strengthen our community partnerships and continue building on our proud tradition. Go Flashes!
