Farewell Message from the PrincipalTop of Page
Dear Yerba Buena High School Students, Staff, and Parents,
It is with mixed emotions that I announce my departure as Principal of Yerba Buena High School (YB), effective at the end of December. Starting in January, I will begin a new chapter in my career as the Chief Business Official for the Millbrae Elementary School District. While I am excited about this new opportunity, leaving this extraordinary school and community is bittersweet.
Reflecting on my nearly two decades with the East Side Union High School District and my twelve unforgettable years at Yerba Buena, I am filled with immense pride and gratitude. Serving as your Principal for the past six years has been an honor and a privilege. Together, we have achieved remarkable milestones that have become a part of YB’s proud history.
Under our collective efforts:
-
Academic Excellence: YB has seen significant improvements in both graduation and college readiness rates, ensuring more students are prepared for their future endeavors.
-
Innovative Pathways: In 2022, we launched the Law Pathway, an exciting collaboration with the Santa Clara County Superior Court. This program empowers students to explore careers in law and justice.
-
AP Honor Roll Recognition: In 2023, we earned AP Honor Roll status for expanding access to Advanced Placement courses and supporting more students on their path to higher education. We also were being recognized with the AP Access Award for encouraging more low income and underrepresented minority students to take AP courses.
-
Platinum College Optimizer: We were recognized with Platinum status for our outstanding efforts in optimizing college opportunities for all students—the highest distinction achievable in this area.
-
Civic Learning Award of Distinction: In 2024, YB received this prestigious honor for innovative programs that connect classroom learning to real-world civic engagement.
These accomplishments would not have been possible without the unwavering support and dedication of our exceptional staff, the determination of our students, and the partnership of our parents. I thank you all for your trust and commitment to our shared mission of excellence.
I am confident that YB will continue to thrive under the capable leadership of Mr. Hien Doan, who will serve as Interim Principal through the end of the 2024-2025 school year. Mr. Doan brings extensive experience, having served as a math teacher, student advisor, and Associate Principal within ESUHSD. I ask for your continued support as he leads our school to further success.
As I prepare to bid farewell, I want to express my deepest gratitude for the opportunity to serve this incredible community. Yerba Buena will always hold a special place in my heart. I wish you and your families the very best in the years to come.
Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your journey. It has been an honor to serve as your Principal.
With warm regards and best wishes,
Mary Pollett
Principal, Yerba Buena High School
