“As an alumni, former teacher and administrator of PUHSD, I care deeply about the excellent educational experience that PUHSD has always provided its students. I have complete faith that as a school board member Patrick Gale will ensure this level of excellence continues for the parents, staff, and especially the students. I have seen first hand Patrick’s ability to build collaborative environments that promote growth, innovation, and respect at the classroom, school, and district level. As the principal at the school he taught at, there was more than one occasion where I sat across the table and he and I were on opposite sides of an issue. I have always known Patrick to thoughtfully listen, collaborate, and work to find a positive solution that was in the best interest of students first.
