Parker plans to leave during the week of April 11 after the Roseville Joint Union High School District approves her position transfer.

Student activities director Lindsey Parker will trade her current position for an assistant principal opening at Antelope High School. According to Parker, her and principal David Byrd are unsure about the status of her replacement and time of departure remain undetermined.

Throughout the past two years, Parker worked on getting her administrative services credentials to open a door to higher positions.

“I started thinking about what I wanted to do with [the credentials], and the next step would be an assistant principal somewhere,” Parker said.

This will be Parker’s first position at a school other than Roseville High School.

“I’ve never known any other school than Roseville, but I think Antelope can give me the opportunity to grow and really stretch myself,” Parker said.

Parker reassured her students that they wouldn’t be left without guidance.

“We don’t know who’s gonna be the new leadership teacher, so that’s a little concerning,” leadership student Julia Porretta said. “But she made it a point that she’s gonna have somebody come shadow, and that she’s not just going to leave us.”

Parker is confident that the class can operate without her supervision.

“[My students are] so capable and they’re so creative,” Parker said. “They can definitely step up to the task to getting it done.”

Parker will still remain in contact with her students.

“I’m a phone call away, an email away, I’m a text message away,” Parker said.
