On July 31, El Rodeo and Horace Mann Elementary Schools welcomed families to campus for town hall meetings with their new administrative teams ahead of the 2025-26 school year.

At El Rodeo Elementary, principal Kim D’Aloisio and assistant principal Billy Cameron introduced themselves to the school community and shared their vision for the year ahead.

At Horace Mann Elementary, principal Dr. Steven Suttle and assistant principal Adrienne Kim met with families to discuss their leadership approach and commitment to supporting every student.

“This is what makes BHUSD special,” BHUSD Superintendent Dr. Alex Cherniss said. “When families and school leaders come together from the very beginning, it sets the tone for a strong, connected year. We’re grateful for this start and excited for what’s ahead.”

The gatherings provided space for dialogue, shared goals and community-building as both schools prepare to begin the new academic year with energy and unity.
