Dear Lancers

It is with mixed emotions that I let you know that I have accepted a position at Sacramento City Unified School District as an Instructional Assistant Superintendent. As an educational leader, this is an exciting opportunity but it also comes with a heavy heart that I must exit as the Principal of Cordova High School... a position which I have held for the past five years. 

Being the Principal of Cordova High School has been a privilege and an honor. There are no better staff and students than right here in the Lancer community, and you have been a daily inspiration to me. You are strong, resilient, and committed to student learning. I know you will have a wonderful school year and you are in very good hands.

I will remain on campus in the role of principal until my replacement can assume my responsibilities. The leadership teams of both FCUSD and SCUSD wish to make this transition as smooth as possible and I am confident your next principal will be ready to lead the Lancer community well.

I am sure you may have questions, and I promise that we will keep you informed on the progress of this transition.

My time with the Lancers will forever leave a fond and indelible mark on my heart and I look forward to watching the CHS community thrive and grow.  

Respectfully,

Jerad Hyden
