Principal Rosette Costello

Ms. Costello says that her goal is to create “a school that resonates with the beauty, the talents and the diversity of our students, parents/caregivers and staff.”  Ms. Rosette Costello, principal since 1996, is dedicated to building a strong academic program that also addresses the needs of the whole child.  She is committed to collaborating with parents, students and staff, and works hard to obtain outside resources for staff development, art and music instruction, and mental health services.  She holds a master’s degree in language and literacy from UC Berkeley, as well as degrees in developmental education and art.
