The Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District has announced that Barry Yates has been named principal at Juan Cabrillo Elementary School.
The district’s board of education approved Yates’ appointment in March. Yates has served as interim principal at Cabrillo since January. Prior to his appointment, he held the position of assistant principal at Franklin Elementary.
“We are very pleased and fortunate to have Barry in this position,” said Dr. Michael Mathews, interim superintendent.
With more than seven years experience as an administrator, and 28 years as a teacher at Cabrillo, Yates is popular in the community and has demonstrated a long-term commitment to quality education for all students within the district, officials said. SMC to exhibit photography
