After working in the Roseville Joint Union High School District for 30 years, assistant superintendent John Montgomery is retiring next year. During that time, Montgomery spent 13 years as the principal of Roseville High School and was an assistant principal for five years.
Montgomery will miss the people he met and working in the RJUHSD district.
“It has been a dream-come-true to work with everyone associated with the Roseville high school district,” Montgomery said. “People make the difference in any career, and I have been truly blessed.”
AP Psychology and World Studies teacher Mark Andreatta, who taught while Montgomery was principal, believes that he was instrumental in hiring a lot of the tenured teachers.
“He was great as a principal because he expanded a lot of the AP programs and even the visual arts programs,” Andreatta said. “He was exceptionally good in hiring senior staffs.”
According to Montgomery, being the principal of RHS made a big difference in the direction of his career.
“I feel like a coach of a great team that has won the championship of life and I will celebrate this moment and memories to my next challenge – grandkids,” Montgomery said.
