AHS takes numerous administrator to run successfully. Recently, Assistant Principal of Business and Activities Phuong Nguyen and Assistant Principal of Guidance Jeremy Infranca have switched positions.

The decision for the switch was made to ensure that Infranca and Nguyen would be able to learn new skills in order to be more prepared and be successful for future positions.

“Mr. Walsh has given us the opportunity to diversify our backgrounds, ultimately preparing us to become school principals,” Infranca said.

Infranca and Nguyen have a myriad of duties every day.

After the switch, Nguyen now oversees sports, clubs, the physical plan of buildings and the finances of the Associated Student Body (ASB) amongst other obligations.

Infranca’s responsibilities currently include tasks such as class scheduling, testing, registration and special education.

“Even though [we’re in] different offices, I […] can work closely with Infranca and [we can] assist each other,” Nguyen said.

Though their roles have changed, the assistant principals feel as if their positions will be the same because of their continued support and cooperation. In addition, the change is occurring in the middle of the school year, when it is not as hectic as opposed the beginning of the school year because schedules have already been solidified.

“As an administrative team, we stick together. It’s really made our team stronger to know different roles,” Infranca said.
