The Beverly Hills Unified School District announced the hiring of Jeanne McCrea and Christopher Regan as assistant principals of Beverly Hills High School.

Jeanne McCrea

A former science teacher, McCrea joins the district after serving as assistant principal at Goleta Valley Junior High School in the Santa Barbara Unified School District. She previously served as Assistant Principal at Santa Barbara High School, and as the dean of students for the Napa Valley School District.

“I love working with kids, I love working with teachers and parents. I enjoy myself in my job everyday,” McCrea said. “There’s nothing better than improving yourself, your mind, and seeing the world in a new way.”

Regan is already a familiar face at Beverly Hills High School, where he taught Spanish last school year. He previously served as principal at Lone Hill Middle School in San Dimas, and as an assistant principal in the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified and Las Virgenes Unified school districts.

“Having grown up in the Los Angeles area, I know the outstanding reputation that BHHS and BHUSD have,” Regan said. “Principal Mark Mead and I have a similar philosophy, in that we both like to focus on student engagement and making every minute count. I am excited to join the administrative team and am looking forward to a great year.”

McCrea and Regan replace former high school assistant principals Mark Mead and Luke Pavone. Mead was recently named the high school’s principal, and Pavone now serves as the district’s executive director of human resources.
