Marcel Baker has announced that he will be leaving his post as vice principal of Foothill High School to take a principal position in Sacramento.
This was Baker’s fourth year in Pleasanton Unified and his second at Foothill — previously, he served as vice principal at Hart Middle School for two years. He will be moving to Natomas Middle School in Sacramento next school year.
“I would like to say thank you to so many people: students, family and staff who have made Pleasanton a great place to work,” Baker said in an email to the Weekly. “I have known many of our current students and families for four years, making it hard to leave. I will miss Pleasanton.”
Baker is one of three vice principals at Foothill, along with Josh Butterfield and Jennifer Friesen. Before coming to PUSD, Baker served as a middle school assistant principal in Oakland Unified School District.
“I’m very excited for Mr. Baker and his opportunity to be a middle school principal,” Foothill principal Sebastian Bull said in an email to the Weekly. “It is a big gain for Natomas Middle School but a big loss for Foothill. Mr. Baker is a strong advocate for students and will be missed.”
