Los Altos High School welcomed a new addition to its administrative staff this year as the Mountain View-Los Altos Union High School District hired a new assistant principal over the summer.
Morenike O’Neal has replaced Kathleen Meagher, the former assistant principal who accepted a principal position in the Palo Alto Unified School District. O’Neal will assume responsibility for counseling services, pupil personnel, special education programs and programs for students at risk of not graduating.
Prior to joining the staff at Los Altos High School, O’Neal served as vice principal at Concord High School in the Mount Diablo Unified School District, where her responsibilities included master schedule development, coordination of intervention classes for struggling students, single-site plan development and serving as summer school principal.
O’Neal previously taught fifth through eighth grades in the Hayward Unified and Ravenswood City School districts. As an elementary school teacher, O’Neal assumed a variety of additional responsibilities, including English language development, technology and GATE (Gifted and Talented Education) programming.
O’Neal earned a bachelor’s degree in history and ethnic studies at UC Berkeley, a multiple-subject teaching credential from National Hispanic University and a master’s degree and an administrative credential from St. Mary’s College.
Wynne Satterwhite, principal of Los Altos High School, said she is excited about the addition to her administrative staff.
