Clark’s new role comes as fruition of continued efforts

Advanced Placement Coordinator Anna Marie Clark will take up the open position of assistant principal next school year, replacing Jon Coleman.
Clark pursued an administrative position for several years and is excited to start her new role at Roseville High School.

“I’ve been pursuing administration for about five years now and I really wanted to be an administrator on this campus,” Clark said. “I was speechless when I got the call, and I’m excited that I get to continue my career here at Roseville High School.”

According to Clark, the new position will be a significant transition for her, but she believes she’s ready to take it on.
“It’s definitely going to be a learning curve and that’s not really a worry or concern. It’s just something that I’m preparing for,” Clark said. “I enjoy learning and a challenge, so this will be a great opportunity for me to grow into an educator.”

Clark appreciates the reactions from her family and is excited to share her achievement with them.
“My family was pretty ecstatic because it’s been a long journey for me, and they’ve been with me every step of the way,” Clark said. “They’ve experienced my peaks and my highs and lows, so this was great to be able to celebrate with my family.”

According to Clark, both her colleagues and coworkers have been supportive of her new position.

“My colleagues and coworkers have been just wonderful expressing their congratulations and it’s been really exciting,” Clark said.
AVID and English teacher Scott Brink has worked with Clark since his arrival at RHS and believes in her dedication and drive.

“Everything she does is very efficient and done to a near level of perfection, so I think she’s going to do a great job,” Brink said.
Brink believes Clark’s past experience as AP coordinator and other positions proves she’s ready for the new job.

“I think her track record and reputation speaks for itself and if the name ‘Anna Marie Clark’ is attached to something it’s going to be really well done,” Brink said.

Clark is confident in RHS’s overall potential and wants to continue working to better the school.

“I believe in this school, I believe in the campus and I believe in the mission and vision, and I want to just continue working towards that,” Clark said.
Clark welcomes the opportunity with open arms.

“I enjoy learning and a challenge and so this will be a great opportunity for me to grow as an educator.
